Forluma based on column order

Hi, 

 

I want to do some maths in a new column based on the order of the columns.

Based on my query the headers could have different name.   

For example I want to calculate --> 3. column + 4. column 

 

Thanks in advance

@petros21 Can you expand a little on this? Do you want to add values from two or more columns based on the names of the columns?

The headers of the last 3 Columns are changing every month based on my select (--> last 3 months).

I want to calc the average of the last 3 months. 

 

Following worked last month, but of course not this.

 

Reaseon: the last three columns are from this month
