Set Table Cell Value By Headers

Sets the value of a grid / table cell at the intersection of the given row-header and column-header text (Windows only). Uses the UIA TablePattern to resolve indices, then ValuePattern to write. Resilient to row/column reordering compared to index-based lookup. Some grids require the cell to be in edit mode first — click or double-click it before setting the value.
