Max between dates + hlookup?

Hello

I am trying to do a formula, but getting a little stuck.

Goal: find the maximum value between two dates, in a column with matched header.

I have created an easy theoretical example (attached)

The idea would be to find Jack's maximum score, between the two dates. As you can see in cell E24, I have actually managed to achieve the right result.

The problem I have is that it is done by manually specifying the row ("I:I"). This means that for all other candidates, I would have to manually enter the column each time. What I really want is some sort of function in the formula that matches the names in Column D to the names in Row 13, so that it knows which column to do the MAX formula for.

Hope that's clear and thanks in advance for any help!

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.
