Select Column Based on Current Month

Bharkavi

Hello everyone,

 

I have the following table 

NameJan'25Feb'25Mar'25Apr'25
Alice14710
Bob

2

5811
Peter36912

 

I have created a formula to return the current month. I want to dynamically select the column that matches this current month formula. Eg: Current month = Feb then output is column "Feb'25" and to sum the values under this column. 

 

Does anyone know how to do this in alteryx?

dynamic rename to rename that column to "Current month" then use for summarize then do the rest as usual.

@Bharkavi 
I think we can do as below.
One is using the combination of Transpose and Cross Tab, another is the Dynamic Select but a bit length.
