Need to prompt for base month and comparison month associations

A1
7 - Meteor

I am working with historic (base) and forecasting (comparison) files. Each file has an ID and field names associated with months (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.) that contain activity count values. The months present in each file can be as few as one, but no more than 12 - so there is no year/date information, just month. Often the identical months will be compared (Jan, Feb, Mar to Jan, Feb, Mar); however, there will be times when the historic months considered are JUN, JUL, AUG (say in 2020), but the comparison months need to be FEB, MAR, APR (say in 2021). I need to prompt the user to select which months in the base file should line up with which months in the comparison file.

How can this be accomplished?

Thanks in advance.
