It should not be that difficult to create a scaled-down sample and post it here along with the desired results.
Sheet1
Results
A1 houses a value of interes.
In B1 control+shift+enter, not just enter:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$D$1,MIN(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$D$11=A1,COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$D$1)-COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1)+1)))
Adjust to suit.
