    function to find the right column to pull data from

    I have two pages where I am copying and pasting data to pull financial info from. The sheets are named "ES option chain" and "SPX option chain" This works for me but if anyone else were to try and use it they might have different headers (Row 9) in a different order than me. I am pulling data from columns L (strike), I (ask), and G (bid). (see V11 on "ES options chain") Is there a way to have the functions that are accessing the values in these columns find the words "strike", "bid" and "ask" instead of the lettered column? This way no matter what order someone has the data ordered the functions would still be pulling the data they need from the correct columns.
