    Quickly see a list of all column headers in a table?

    Is there an option to quickly see a compact list of a table's column headers? Similar to the way you can get a list of all worksheets by right-clicking the left/right arrows next to the worksheets?

    It's just a bit inconvenient having to scroll across a table with many columns when trying to find the name of a particular column.

    Thanks!

    You could probably pick a cell, say A1, and use Data Validation to list the column headers. But, you'd need VBA if you wanted to automatically select/go to the column. Should be doable though.

    Ooh thanks! Data validation is a good option I hadn't considered.

    I also noticed the Remove Duplicates feature shows all the column headers (Alt+A+M), for anyone else curious.
