Default opposite of vlookup function?

Hlookup doesn't do what he wants.

He wants to search the table data for a particular value, and then
return the header.

For a single column:

=IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A1,B3:B99))),B2,0)

where A1 is the test value, B3:B99 is the lookup column and B2 is the
header.

Now you just have to replace the 0 in the false portion with similar
lookups for the other columns in your table.

=IF(NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A1,B3:B99))),B2,IF(NOT(ISNA(MAT CH(A1,C3:C99))),c2,0)
)

Etc.
