Dynamic reference in excel

Hi James,
It depends on how your real data is organized, but in general INDEX/MATCH combination shall work. If you keep your metrics in tables like Metric1, Metric2, etc. you may find in each of such table the record (row) where employee name matches (MATCH) and return the value from the needed column for such row (INDEX) like
=INDEX(Metric1[Production Job Count],MATCH([@Employee],Metric1[Employee],0))
Please see attached file.
These could be ranges, not necessary tables. Another way is to use PowerQuery (Get&Transform).
Great, I will give it a try! Thanks for the response.
