I want to the daily number of hours performed by each department from a pivot table but because the types of hours and number of columns can change, I can't use the formula below. Is there a way to search by the name of the column "grand total" instead of using a fixed column, column 8 in my formula?

=INDEX($F$5:$M$12,MATCH($F$21,$F$5:$F$12,0),8)

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
See if something like this might help.

=INDEX($F$5:$Z$12,MATCH($F$21,$F$5:$F$12,0),MATCH("Grand Total",$F$4:$Z$4,0))
