  I can't remember where I saw this, and can't find it now 🙁

  I want the value of $cTime to be the current value of $Hourly8, namely, 10

  $Hourly8 = 10

  $Hour = 8

  $Var = $($('$Hourly'+$Hour))

  set-Variable -Name cTime -Value $("$var")

  $cTime

  Thanks!

  May not be what you saw, probably not, but this should do.

  $Hourly8 = 10

  $Hour = 8

  $Var = '$Hourly'+$Hour

  $cTime = Invoke-Expression -Command "$Var"

  $cTime
