Header Row From Web Query Columns Different

[UncleLewis]

Hi all,

How can I create a header row based on data from Web Query on Fed data where table headers are inconsistent? Some fields import as a wrapped line :

2021
Jul

Others import as 2 different rows:
Week ending

Aug11

Fed site : https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h8/current/default.htm
Table 7

Thanks,

It specifically deals with double row headers in Excel, but should apply to any data source where you need to combine multiple rows into a single row for a clean header row before promoting to the header.
