excel - Horizontal Index Match (returning column header) -


          b       c 1 fruit   color   meat <- column header 2 banana  red     pork 3 apple   black   chicken 4 orange  white   beef 

from table1 above table2 below:

          b      1 name    what? <- column header 2 banana  fruit <- formula should return these values, based on table 1     3 red     color 4 beef    meat 5 pork    meat 

looking formula return corresponding column name in b2,3,4...
tried =index(table1[#headers],match(j:j,table1,0))

it seem 3 columns unique; e.g. there never beef in color column. in case can query each column, passing 1, 2 or 3 case may be.

=iferror(index(table1[#headers],                isnumber(match([@name], table1[fruit], 0))*1+                isnumber(match([@name], table1[color], 0))*2+                isnumber(match([@name], table1[meat], 0))*3),        "no column") 

    three column lookup

i'm not sure whether port intentional misspelling demonstrate occurs when there no match.
