I have a workbook that uses a "Main" page for overview of information. Several of the areas of information are un-aligned when I may no longer have visibility of perspective dates of requested information - causing some groups to either enlarge or shrink.

What formula or how, would I be able to I guess Find the information based off a "Mother" column? I apologize if my most apt wording of the question is not the best description.

For chart below, I need D21, E21 &, F21.

Issue, this chart changes daily. So tomorrow, I may not have the dated row C14-17 causing previously requested cells to be on lower numbered rows.

So you need Instagram total values?

Use in some empty cell (let's say J2 - or any other located right from the table) the following formula:
Excel Formula:
=vlookup("Instagram",$A:$F,columns($A$1:D$1),0)
and copy the cell with the formula to 2 next cells to the right

PS. if you write in I2 Facebook, in I3 Instagram, and so on down, then formula in J2 (and copied down and right) shall be:
Excel Formula:
=vlookup($I2,$A:$F,columns($A$1:D$1),0)


or, as you have a recent Excel version delete anything in J2 and right/down and in J2 write a short spill formula:
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(D:F,COUNTIF(I2:I3,A:A))
adjust only I2:I3 to the length of your list in column I
