I have a drop down list in cell A1 with years (2018, 2019, 2020). I want to make a formula dynamic based on cell A1, how do I use INDIRECT function on the column part of a table nomenclature where it says 2019?

FiscalYear[2019 Actual]

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
INDIRECT("FiscalYear["&A1&" Actual]")

would be the equivalent.
