How to Create a table of column names from another table

I have 69 fields from 8 sheets. I want to create a new table ('FIELDS') that has 1 column only, containing the names of those 69 columns. I want  a table with 1 column containing 69 fields.

ive tried from https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-App-Dev/Create-a-table-of-column-names-from-another-table/td-... but didnt seem to work.

pls dont refer me to any solved solution with other data as i am still new with qlik sense.

here are 2 sheets of my data example

LOAD
negeri as nationality,
tarikh as date,
jumlah as total,
jumlah_baharu as newtotal

Quite similar to your tried approach but much easier ...

load fieldname(recno(), 'YourTable') as Field autogenerate nooffields('YourTable');
