Exactly the same except you are searching through Rows rather than Columns.

This example may help:

You have a financial report with Division Names as column headings (Corp,
East, etc).
You want to find a given divsion and pull the 4th number down from that Col
Heading.

A1: =HLOOKUP("Corp",ReportRange,5,0)

Note: I use 5 because the Col Heading counts as a row.

Does that help?
