Assuming that on Sheet1, A1:G5 contains the data, and that on Sheet2,
A2:A5 contains A1, A2, A3, and A4, try the following formula which needs
to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

C2, copied down:

=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$F$1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(Sheet1!$B $2:$F$5,MATCH(A2,Sheet1
!$A$2:$A$5,0),0)<"",0))

Adjust the ranges accordingly.

Hope this helps!
