Returning Column Name of first non- Null value

I have a CSV file I'm using as a source, I'm needing to return the column name of the first non-null value in a row. 

 

In Excel I'd use a simple index match. I've worked out how to return the first non null value but still can't quite fathom how to return the column name.

 

Any help very much appreciated.

Add a List.RemoveFirstN

List.Skip(List.RemoveFirstN(List.Zip({Record.FieldValues(_), Record.FieldNames(_)}),4), each _{0}=null){0}{1}

Hi

Add a new column

List.Skip(List.Zip({Record.FieldValues(_), Record.FieldNames(_)}), each _{0}=null){0}{1}

Thanks - that's almost there, however the columns I'm searching start at column 5 (first four columns are populated) how would I change this to accomodate this?

 

It also seems to return the same result for every row?
