Default Lookup formula & an error to find the match

Hello
I am trying to create a formula which can look up to find data on a raw and
returns the value on the same column on another raw. Here is the outline of
the table:
A B C D ...... Y

1 3-Aug

2 pj.Month Az Dy Es ...... Ab

3 Month 11/7 12/7 1/21 .... 12/21

4 forcats 36 91 151 ...... 217

5 Adjusted forcasts 70 180 200 ..... 217

6 Actual T.Cum 24 47

7 Actual N.Cum 11 16

8 =INDEX($A$1:$Y$7, MATCH("Actual T.Cum",$A$1:$A$7,),
MATCH(DATEVALUE("2008/08/02"),$A$1:$Y$7,))

The formula is created by Lookup wisard but as you see, a problem exist in
the second MATCH function which have to be updated manually every day within
DATEVALUE function! We actually use formula to get ride of manual updating
but here I have to update the formula daily to find the date which has been
updated on row 1 (which might be in column B to Y and might be today date or
another date).

Please kindly help me to improve the above formula to lookup the updated
date in row 1 and returns the row 6 in the related column.

Great Appreciation previously!
Thanks
