So if you have 1000 rows, all with different contents, you want each
row to have different headers?

Access simply doesn't work that way. I would strongly suggest
normalizing your data; rather than a different FIELD for each value,
use a different RECORD. It sounds like you have a classic many to many
relationship between whatever is in the rows of your spreadsheet and
the values in the column headers. A two-field table with the row
identifier and the column heading as field values will let you
represent this information in a normalized table structure.
