Dynamic Column Reference in Sum.List

This first formula works, but I am trying to remove the hard column reference ([FY24 Original Baseline]) to a dynamic reference from a varible:

 

List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(tbl_DSBaselines,

(InnerTable) => InnerTable[FinancialID] = [FinancialID] and

InnerTable[Baseline Version] = Text.Combine({FiscalYear,"Q0"}))[FY24 Original Baseline]

)

 

Does not work (returns a List) and I cannot figure out the correct syntax to accomplish this. Table.Column is clearly not correct.

 

FiscalYearBaseline is the variable containing the column name I want to reference.

 

List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(tbl_DSBaselines,

(InnerTable) => InnerTable[FinancialID] = [FinancialID] and

InnerTable[Baseline Version] = Text.Combine({FiscalYear,"Q0"})){Table.Column(tbl_DSBaselines,FiscalYearBaseline)}

)
