I have a table where nearly all the headers are dates. This data source changes dynamically and the dates will also change, so if my queries (such as Change Type) reference the current headers I will get errors when the data source changes. However, the rows in the Person column may also change, so I can't use them as headers either. So I am looking for a robust way to arrange the table so I don't get errors (I'm thinking Person, Date and Value as the column names?) I'd like to know if there are any better ways of doing this, and what the code for doing so would be.
