Lookup Value and Return Column Heading

[eb]

Need formula to lookup a value from a table and return the corresponding
column heading.
For example, I would like to look up the value 12 and have the formula
return 2222.
Example of table - Table is 6 columns x 9 rows. No row headers just column
headers.

A B
1111 2222
1 06 07
2 09 10
3 11 12

Appreciate the help

=INDEX(A1:B1,MAX(INDEX((A2:B4=12)*COLUMN(A2:B4),)))

Some of the values in the table data have leading 0s. Are these formatted
numbers or TEXT entries? Are there any duplicate values in the data table?

Thanks for the responses
No duplicates and all are formatted as numbers.

The first formula post will not return the value 100% of the time. The
lookup value will change and may or not be the max/min number in the column.

Thanks

What is the *exact* location of the table in cell references? Like: it's in
the range G10:L18.

Table Range A85:F94 -- Column headings in row 85

Thanks

Thanks all -- Was able to return the column heading with sumproduct.
=sumproduct((A85:F85)*(A86:F94="my lookup value"))
