Default Lookup values based on column headers?

I have a data validation dropdown list box in "sheet1" cell $J$1. Depending
on what I have selected in that dropdown list I would like it to match or
lookup the data with the respective columns the heading is over in "sheet2".
The receiving array is "Sheet1" Y3:AA2284 and the sending array is "Sheet2"
CF3:HE2284

Also, the column headers are merged for two or three columns each. I am
hoping there might be a way to pull the data from say all columns that the
header is over?

So to clarify, If I select the word "chair" from the dropdown, and "chair"
is over 2 columns CF & CG, then it will show all of those values. Likewise if
there were 3 columns the heading was over it would return the values for all
three columns.

If this requires very much work for you, please know that I very much
appreciate it, as this will really help me out.

Thank you!
