    Question Return header of a specific cell

    I am trying to combine multiple projects into 1 dashboard. In the dashboard, I want to find the matching feature on one program's grid, go find the last cell in that row with text, and return the header of that column.


    I have been able to make this formula work if the features are always in the same order:
    INDIRECT(LEFT(CELL("address",OFFSET($B6,0,COUNTA(B6:E6)-1)),2)&"$5") -- found in cell C13

    But I can't figure out how to first find the matching feature, then go find the last cell in the row with text, then return the header. The cells in yellow are what I am trying to solve for.

    Please tell us the EXPECTED answers... a non-working formula is of very little use!!

    A guess, despite the confusion caused by the so-called result for feature 1, produced by the wonky formula:

    =IFERROR(INDEX($5:$5,AGGREGATE(14,6,COLUMN($C$5:$F$5)/(INDEX($C$6:$F$8,MATCH(B13,$B$6:$B$8,0),)>0),1)),"Not started yet")
