Default Insert formula based on input box

There are two sheets: "Hours" and "Table"
In my program, there is an input box that pops up and asks the user for a
date. This date will be inputted into $A$1 of the Hours tab.

In the Table tab, there is a list of employees and all the dates for the
year. (Employees in columns, and dates in the rows).

If the date in Column A of the Table tab matches the date in $A$1 of the
Hours tab, I want to enter a lookup formula in each column of the row that
matches (but ONLY in that particular row).

For example:

A B C D E
Ed Matt Dave Sam
1/1/09
1/2/09
1/3/09 "formula" "formula" "formula" "formula"
1/4/09

So, when the user entered "1/3/09" in the input box on the Hours tab for
$a$1, it found it on the Table tab and entered the formula for the entire row
that 1/3/09 was found on.

(if it helps, the formula is going to be something along the lines of
=IF($A4=HOURS!$A$1,INDEX(HOURS!$G:$G,MATCH(B$1,HOU RS!$A:$A,0)),"")
basically just to return the total hours after matching the employee number
and the date.

I started writing some kind of looping search, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help is appreciated!
