Hi
I have a large list of pupils effort grades within the subjects that they
are studying: the list of all the subjects (about 18) is in row 1, pupil
names in column 1. If John Smith is studying music, and is awarded a 'A',
how can I search the row for the 'A', and return the column heading (i.e.
Music)? I've tried lookups and match and offset, but to no avail. I'm
obviously missing something...

Thanks
