We would like to create an "interaction" matrix.

I would manually enter data in a column. I would want this data
automatically created in column heads.
A B C D
1
2 =A3 =A4 =A5
3Item#1
4Item#2
4Item#3

Since if expect a large number of items, I want to "fill by example" the
rest of row 2. I just can't find out how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Put in B2:
=IF(INDEX($A3:$A300,COLUMN(A1))=0,"",INDEX($A3:$A3 00,COLUMN(A1)))
Copy B2 across as far as required. This will return the results that you're
after.

The range: $A3:$A300 is arbitrary but should suffice here. Adapt to suit if
desired. Note that you'd run out of cols to copy across in xl2003 and lower
(max 256 cols)

And which ones worked for you, I wonder ?

The IF construct in my non-array suggestion was optional, but it provides
suppression of extraneous zeros returned by blank cells (if any) for a
cleaner looking output in row2.

Without the IF, the core of it is simply in B2, copied across:
=INDEX($A3:$A300,COLUMN(A1))
