I have a report that I receive weekly

Column A will always be Region
Column B will always be Color
Columns C through Z may change, the order may change, a column that had activity the prior week might not exist because their is no activity.

The headers in Column C through Z are known to me. For example, "Unit Sales".

"Unit Sales" might have been column G one week, and then it became column Y in the next.

I need a formula that I don't have to keep changing each week, that can look for "Unit Sales" in columns C through Z, find the correct column, and then sum the values in each row in that column that have a specific Region and Color.

For example, find Unit Sales, and sumif Region is North and Color is Orange.
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Or:

=SUMIFS(INDEX(C:Z,0,MATCH("Unit Sales",C1:Z1,0)),A:A,"someRegion",B:B,"some Color")
