Lookup value in table

Need to determine column of the lookup value in a table.
Lookup value = 6/1/06

Table A B C
row 1 7/1/05 7/1/06 7/1/07
row 2 6/1/05 6/1/06 6/1/07
row 3 5/1/05 5/1/06 5/1/07

The answer should column 2.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Is the column number relative or absolute?

If your table is in the range A1:C3 this array formula entered using the key
combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) will return the ABSOLUTE
column number:

=MAX((A1:C3=A10)*COLUMN(A1:C3)) Returns: 2

If your table is in the range D1:F3 this array formula entered using the key
combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) will return the RELATIVE
column number:

=MAX((D1:F3=A10)*COLUMN(D1:F3)-COLUMN(D1)+1) Returns: 2

Relative
The column location will be used to lookup another value.
Thanks for the solution.
