Default VLOOKUP Returns Erroneous Value When Control Data is Variable

I have a workbook that uses VLOOKUP on the Summary sheet to find values
associated with a Name and Week #. The worksheet I'm trying to capture the
data from looks like:
B C D E
Name | Week 0 | Week 1 | Week 2 | etc

Week 0 indicates the beginning and no real values are entered. My formula is:
=VLOOKUP(A6,Points!$B:$AB,$B$1+1,FALSE)

The problem is the result expected for Week 0 is "0" but instead it returns
the Name.

I tried MATCH as so:
=VLOOKUP(A6,Points!$B:$AB,MATCH(Summary!$B$1,Point s!C2:AB2,0),FALSE)

Same results received. Any number other than 0 in $B$1 returns the correct
result, but I want the initial sheet to show the corrct values.

Any help will be appreciated.
