Hello, I am trying to find a substitute for a dynamic column name within my sumif formula so I don't use the volatile indirect command. How can I make a reference in a more optimal way so my file isn't so slow due to indirect?

The column name changes from Budget_1, Actual_1, Prior_1 for example and they are all column names in another sheet. I am stuck...thanks in advance


=SUMIFS(INDIRECT($F$9),Main_Co_Dept,CONCATENATE($B14,RIGHT($D$1,4),RIGHT($I$1,4)),EBITDA_Co,CONCATENATE("0000-",RIGHT($D$1,3)))
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
last reply - maybe I need to add an index match combination within sumifs? or a choose? I can't figure it out, it always throws an error and won't reference the column header
