Default How to return column header contents when a cell in the column has a value

Hi,

For example, 7889STAPLES would return the result "61140"; 1502CDW would return "61065"; and so on.


try:
=INDEX($1:$1,MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(INDIRECT(MATCH("7876 STANDARD",$A$1:$A$100,0)&":"&MATCH("7876STANDARD", $A$1:$A$100,0)))*1,0))
or
=INDEX($1:$1,MATCH(1,ISNUMBER(INDIRECT(MATCH(A5,$A $1:$A$100,0)&":"&MATCH(A5,$A$1:$A$100,0)))*1,0))
and enter these formulas with CTRL+Shift+Enter
