Dynamically Sum Columns with Headers that Contain Certain Text

[yoyoumysin]

I want to summarize incoming payment for some invoices as customers may make multiple partial payments.  Note the Paid On Date may keep growing as new partial payments trickle in.  For example:

Invoice #	Amount	Paid on 12-01	Paid on 12-05	Paid on 01-20	Total Paid
A001	10,000	5,000	2,500	500	8,000
A002	15,000	5,000	0	0	5,000
A003	17,500	7,500	10,000	0	17,500

transpose

Invoice and amount are your key columns. make sure that unknown columns and the Paid on columns are clicked for columns to be transposed.

summarize tool.

group by invoice/amount

sum - Value columns.

The result (ie Sum_Value) is your total paid.
