Suppose the table is this (the first line is just header) h1,h2,v a,,Y a,C,3
Since v of h1=a and h2="" is Y which is not X, the table should be updated to h1,h2,v a,,X a,A,1 a,B,2 ... Suppose the table is this, as v of h1=a and h2="" is X, the table is not changed. h1,h2,v a,,X a,C,3 Suppose the table is this. h1,h2,v a,C,3 since there is no row with h1=a and h2="", the table is updated to h1,h2,v a,,X a,A,1 a,B,2 ...
