Hi,

i have table :

and now i want to replace null value in column with column headers from second table (Table2).

So create list using Table.ColumnNames function (which is not working for me, how to implement) including types for column (like text, logical etc.).

And output as concatenated string like "{Col1, type logical}, {Col2, type Int64}, {Col3, type text}") in place of "null" value. 

How to do this?
Best,
Jacek

Can you explain what the resulting table should look like, and why?

You could do something like this, using Table.Schema in a function.
