Hi

I have a list A with 12 columns (months). and I have another list B with different fields.

users will add to the list B monthly and do some calculation. the result will be updated in list A in the columns based on the month.

Example. 

user will add data to list B in June. the workflow will update the column "June" in list A.

I want to do this dynamically (not using switch) where I can update columns using variable as column name.

is this possible?

you will not be able to achieve it with OOTB action, you would need make updates by webservice call.

see Lists.UpdateListItems Method (Lists)
