    Exclamation Need help with INDEX(), MATCH() issue over a field of data to retreive column header...

    Help please! Have been working on this long enough to finally ask for help.

    Please see attached.

    I have data in rows and columns with headers labeling both the rows and columns. I want to run a formula outside of this data to grab the column header given I know the cell value. Please see the attached to answer this issue as I have created a simple excel outlining the issue. Thanks!

    This seems to work:

    =INDEX($A$1:$D$1, SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$D$4=F2)*COLUMN($A$1:$D$4)))
