Default Find a value in a table and return the cell or column reference

Please help! I need a formula that will allow me to search across multiple
rows and columns and find a match and then return the cell reference or
column reference of the match. I can't just use vlookup or hlookup, because
they only search the first column or row. Below is an example of the data I
will be searching. Each month I get a list of names and a number associated
with that name, and I need a formula that will identify which group that
number belongs to by searching the data below.
GROUP A GROUP B GROUP C GROUP D GROUP E GROUP F GROUP G
00080001 01160001 01160023 00700001 01160007 01160010 01160020
00690001 01160002 01160008 01160018
00690002 01160003 01160009
00690003 01160004 01160011
00690004 01160005 01160012
01500001 01160006 01160013
