Get correspondence of the first (or second or last) word in a table

[Bassplayer]

I'm strugling with a problem. I can get the first correspondence in row, or the last value in a row but what I want is to get a correspondence within a table. I will give an example:
Sheet1

	01-jan	02-jan	03-jan	04-jan	05-jan	06-jan
PersonA	Contract A					Contrat B <tbody> </tbody>
PersonB					Contract A
PersonC			Contract B
PersonB						Contract C

<tbody>
</tbody>

Sheet2

Contract A	x		x		x
Contract B		x		x
Contract C				x

<tbody>
</tbody>

For example, if I put Contract A in 01-Jan and 05-Jan, it should appear on the table of Sheet2 the date 01-jan on the first "x" in the Contract A row (the x is just where a formula shoud be, it doesn´t have to be an X) and 05-Jan on the second X.

Is it possible to get this working like this? Thanks in advance. I´ve tried with index, vlookup etc but i´m not getting it.

Cheers

If you have Sheet1!B$1 located in cell B2 ...

and you copy it to cells C2 to G2 ...

you will get an adjustment for each column ...

Please input the Formula in cell B2 ...

And then copy it down and right ...

I understood that and appreciate your help. It will suit great for another task. But in this case, sheet2 will only have 12 columns max, in sheet 1 you will have 1 column for each day of the year so you will have 365 columns.

Sorry ...I do not understand your last message ...

Is the formula producing the results you expected ...???

 

[Bassplayer]

for this case is not. The only part missing is getting the date that is above the first correspondence.
What you said about copy to right will not work because in sheet1 we will have 365 columns and on sheet2 we will have 12 columns. i´ve tried with offset but i´m not getting it

 

[James006]

So ...

your Sheet 1 displays Daily Columns ...

and

your Sheet 2 displays Monthly Columns ...

Is that right ...?

If Yes ... can you clearly explain what should appear in Sheet 2 ...

 

[Bassplayer]

Yes. Example:

In sheet1 let´s say I have a date in January for Contact A and the second date is in March. I want that in sheet2 to appear da January date on the first column and the March date in the third column. But now lets say that there is a delay and the March date goes do April. On the second column of sheet2 it shoud appear the april date because it is the second date to be added.

I think I can get ir around with a auxiliar table

 

[James006]

Very Confusing ...

But now lets say that there is a delay and the March date goes do April. On the second column of sheet2 it shoud appear the april date because it is the second date to be added.

The second Column in Sheet 2 should be February .... and not April ...

If you have the possibility of uploading a sample file on DropBox or Google Drive ...

This could help clarify your constraints ...
