Default Return a column value from a horizontal search

Thank you for that however this returns the cell A1 entry even if the cell is
blank. I need it to check which cell in the row is not empty and return the
relevant column entry in row 1

Hello

I'm trying to look across a row for a non blank cell and return what is in
the first cell of the column in which the non blank cell is found. Does
anybody have any ideas how that could be done?

Thanks
