column headers

Spreadsheet top row

Column headers are labels identifying the contents of vertical columns in tables, spreadsheets, or databases.

They appear in the top row and describe what data appears below: Name, Date, Amount.

Good column headers make data scannable and sortable.

In spreadsheets, clicking a column header often selects the entire column.
