Formula that returns a value from a different row and column in data set

Alteryx102

Hello,

 

I am looking to for a way or formula to return a value from a different row and column if possible. I have attached a example dataset.

 

In this data set, I am looking at row 2 ie. Division 1 to return values in. For example, in this row for the column called "3221 Rev", I want it to return the value in row 3 ie. 3221 Division and column "2021 Revenue" which would be 6,000,000. And so on for each column.

 

Essentially in row 1, the blank columns should return the corresponding 2021 Rev for that Division. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hi @Alteryx102 

 

Here is a dynamic solution it is independent of the column names and will adapt as the rev column names changes and will pick only those present in the columns.
