Default Hlookup, Vlookup and IF in combination??

I have data that is about 2000 rows and 55 columns. 52 of the columms are
headed with a week starting date. The other columns have product names,
number and number of times ordered (this number is attained by counting the
times a quantity appears in a dated column). The 52 dated columns have the
quantity ordered but each items is not ordered every week. What I would like
to do is:

For the items that have been ordered only once, find the date in the heading
and place that date in a column beside the product name.

Is there a way to write a formula (or macro) that would basically say, "if
the quantity in columm C (the number of times ordered) is equal to 1, look
across the dated columns until a value greater than zero is found and then
copy the date at the head of that column into the cell where the formula is".

Thanks & Happy New Year
