Formula to show the first number in a row of cells

Hi

I need to look in a row of cells and see what is the first number that appears.

Example
Name D1 E1 F1 G1 H1
Jane 7 8 8 9 10
Paul 6 6 7 9

So in A1 for Jane I need it to show 7 and in A2 for Paul i need it to show 6.

Is there a formula to do this?

Thanks

i only know how to use a basic vlookup up, doesn't this need a 'if' statement too?
