I have a table that has headers "Data", "2024", "2023" and "2022". I can use a formula =[@2022] that will result in 111. I want to be able to change the value in the "Data Reference" cell so when I change it to 2023 or 2024 it will return 777 or 555 respectively. I tried =INDIRECT("[@"&B1&"]") but get a #REF! error.

Any help would be appreciated

Data Reference2022
Data202420232022
=[@2022]​
555​
777​
111​

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Use the name of table:

A non volatile approach
Excel Formula:
=XLOOKUP(B1&"",Table1[[#Headers],[2024]:[2022]],Table1[@[2024]:[2022]])

If you modify Fluff's formula to take in the entire table's columns that will save making it dependant on the current year headings
Excel Formula:
=XLOOKUP($B$1&"",Table1[#Headers],Table1[@])
PS: All options need B1 as absolute addressing $B$1.

Solution
I'm always amazed at how smart people are on this board. Tanks to everyone for the help, Alex your solution works great. I can add additional years and don't need to rewrite all formulas for the added years! This is great!
