Imagine you start a table with several "header" rows but on following pages you only want to repeat say the last two of those "header" rows since they would suffice for recognition of the columns. > Is anyone aware of an table application (not necessary an ODF > application) that is able to have header in arbitrary places? > Excel used to be able to do that (it has been 2 decades since I have used it but I suspect it is still possible.)

For example, say header rows are rows 50 & 51. page 1 shows rows 1 to 30, the header rows do not appear on this page yet. page 2 shows rows 31 to 60, the header rows appear in their natural position, ie. between rows 49 and 52. page 3 shows rows 50,51,61 to 88, with the header rows appearing at the top of the page Second example, say header rows are rows 60 & 61: page 1 shows rows 1 to 30, the header rows do not appear on this page yet. page 2 shows rows 31 to 60, the header row 60 appears in its natural position, ie. after row 59. page 3 shows rows 60,61 to 88, with the header row 60 appearing at the top of the page and header row 61 in its natural position, ie before row 62 (and after the repeated header row 60). page 4 shows rows 60,61,89 to 116, with the header rows appearing at the top of the page. Within a spreadsheet program this for example allows the statistical analysis to precede the data on the same sheet and in a print out the data immediately to follow the end of the of the analysis.
