Use column values as parameters to search column names

I'm looking to use values stored in a column to search for column names, to pull the requisite value from the searched column. Does anyone know how to do this? Here's the preferred before/after:

 

Before:

ColNamesAttr1Attr2
Attr114
Attr125
Attr236

 

After:

ColNamesAttr1Attr2NewCol
Attr1141
Attr1252
Attr2366
