    'Go through all Excel defined Tables located in the current WS worksheet object
    For Each tbl In WS.ListObjects
        
        'Save Excel defined Table name to cell in column A
        Range("A1").Cells(i, 1).Value = tbl.Name

        'Iterate through columns in Excel defined Table
        For j = 1 To tbl.Range.Columns.Count

            'Save header name to cell next to table name
            Range("A1").Cells(i, j + 1).Value = tbl.Range.Cells(1, j)

        'Continue with next column
        Next j

        'Add 1 to variable i
