Capture field names to pass to Multi Row Formula

I would like to add on to Find Changes in database extracts

 

This worked for me, but I have to code a new expression every time the input file changes, and potentially , the number of names can be 100 or more.

 

Is there a simple way to capture the field names of the input file, then generate the expression? Using variable substitution?

I'm not seeing how batch macro would work.

 

Something like

 

   IIF([$Field1]!=[Row-1:$Field1], "$Field1;","") +

  

 

Doing variable substitution so,

 

   IIF([Field1]!=[Row-1:Field1], "Field1;","") +

   IIF([Field2]!=[Row-1:Field2], "Field2;","") +

 

 

Thanks!
