Google Sheets Coding by column NAME not letter/number?

Question

Google Sheets :

Is it possible to code a cell in a sheet to pull in information from another cell in another sheet, inside the same workbook, by the title of the column that I give it, instead of using something like :

=Sheet1!A2

so that it looks for the Column Header Text to bring in the info no matter where it is in Sheet 1? I have csv files that vary with some columns, the most important columns, so they won't always be at the same LetterNumber location.

Answer 1

OFFSET in conjunction with MATCH might suit.

=offset(Sheet1!A1,1,match("name1",Sheet1!1:1,0)-1)

A formula such as above should return a value from Row2 ( 1 lower/higher number than the row of the reference cell A1 ) of Sheet1 from the column defined by the match function. name1 (a column label) might be anywhere in the first row of Sheet1.
