Can I populate a Google Sheet column using a query that finds all the matches from another sheet?

User generated imageUser generated image
I have two Google Sheets. Sheet1 is categorizing the "Places" from Sheet2. I want to populate the "Categories" column on Sheet2 with all the headers from Sheet1 whose columns contain the given "Place". For example, the "Categories" cell for "Alabama" should contain "Bands, States" (or whatever concatenation format can be done).

this is the formula to put in Sheet2 B2

=TextJoin(",",True,FILTER(Sheet1!$A$1:$C$1,INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$C$20,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$20))=A2))

Thanks for the reply! That seems to be working properly for cases when the "Place" occurs on the same line in multiple columns, but not when it is on different lines between columns. "Alabama" looks like the only case it's completely working on.

Can you please share the dummy file link here, so that I build the formula there?
