If your spreadsheet includes tables, there is a special way to add table ‘header’ information that will be read in some screen readers.

A screen reader user will usually start with the first cell (A1), so this is a good place to put important information about the sheet.They can be confusing for screen reader users who expect one row and/or column header for each cell. Merged cells should not be used in tables. To merge cells, select Home and the Merge menu. If content spans multiple cells visually, these cells should be merged. Spanned cells will be identified by a screen reader (e.g., “Budget A1 through G1”).Screen readers will read the cell number as users navigate from cell to cell (e.g., “Grand Total A 23").Users who are blind rely on software called a screen reader to interact with spreadsheets.
