how can I tell the cell to look at cell 5 for ex.
but in the column that says Activity

Try this...

A1:E1 = column headers, one of which is Activity.

Data in the range A2:E10

=INDEX(A2:E10,5,MATCH("Activity",A1:E1,0))

I would like to have a cell display the same thing as another cell on
another
sheet. But the cell I was to reference might change columns often, but it
will always have the same header at the top of the column. So how can I
tell
the cell to look at cell 5 for ex. but in the column that says Activity at
the top? remember that the column will change frequently.
