    Match a value in a table and print the header of that column if value exists

    I have a table of values see attachment which are in yellow. I need to check if each of the 8 values exist in the table and if they do I need to show the respective header shown in red above the column where that value exists below the value in yellow.

    Thanks very much.

    hi norms, welcome to the forum. try this array formula in K21:
    =INDEX($C$6:$BA$6,MAX(IF($C$8:$BA$13=K20,COLUMN($C$8:$BA$13)-COLUMN($C$8)+1)))
    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to activate the array. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
