    Find the median of Column if Header contains specified text

    Hello, is there VBA code i can write to find the median of Column if Header contains specified text? For example, if the header contains "Test Time_X", it will be selected and the median of all columns selected will be calculated and input into D1. Thank you so much for your help!

    thank you so much for your reply! would there be a way that the formula wont read the entire header? eg Test Time_X VS Test Time_X_Oct. Thank you so much!

    I think that Hans is incorrect. His is returning the median of the first row, only:

    =LET(h,B$5:M$5,d,B$6:M$99,MEDIAN(INDEX(d,SEQUENCE(ROWS(d)),FILTER(SEQUENCE(,COLUMNS(h)),C1=LEFT(h,LEN(C1))))))

    I think Glenn is right.

    Another way to fix my mistake is to replace the INDEX function in my formula with the CHOOSECOLS function.
    Then the SEQUENCE(ROWS(d)) does not need to be added to the formula.
