Hi -
I know in Power Query you can "Use First Row as headers" function.
Is there a way to use the first two rows as headers (combine both rows to create one header row).
Example:
a | b | c | d |
e | f | g | h |
10 | 20 | 30 | 40 |
50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
90 | 100 | 110 | 120 |
Output:
ae | bf | cg | dh |
10 | 20 | 30 | 40 |
50 | 60 | 70 | 80 |
90 | 100 | 110 | 120 |
Any thoughts?
Thanks - jerryr

Hi @jerryr125, another solution:
Add this code as a new step, replace Source in code with your previous_step_name if necessary.
= Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.FromColumns(List.TransformMany(Table.ToColumns(Source),
each {List.Skip(_, 2)},
(x,y)=> {Text.Combine(List.FirstN(x, 2))} & y)))
Hi @jerryr125
= Table.FromRows(
List.Skip(Table.ToRows(Source), 2),
List.Transform(
List.Zip({Record.ToList(Source{0}), Record.ToList(Source{1})}),
Text.Combine))

Create a blank Query, go to the Advanced Editor, clear the existing code, and paste the codes give below and follow the steps.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("JYu5DcBADMN2UX2FnT+zGC7yZ/8JIjkFCUKAIrChYScHOZEtcLFu8pC3FjdmJ/XSYLWO6kmapeVfV7VbuX7OY+YH", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
Custom1 = Table.FromRows({List.Transform(Table.ToColumns(Table.FirstN(Source,2)) , each Text.Combine(_) )}),
Custom2 = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.Combine( {Custom1 , Table.Skip(Source,2)} ))
in
Custom2
