Is there way to use variables in . idk stuff

[dededede52635 (Serialdesignationnnn)]

so what i want to do is probably later make a tycoon or upgrade tree but i dont want to mess with the datastores im too lazy to check if the every upgrade is bought
is there a way to make something like

local data = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dat = data:GetDataStore("bla bla")
local v = "Upgrade"
local newDat = {}
newDat.v = true -- i want it to compile it as newDat.Upgrade is there a way to do that
dat:SetAsync("bla bla", newDat)

[1kaelen1]

newdat[v] = true

[MARKedGamingR (MarkedThing)]

you can do

local newDat = {
    Upgrade = true
}

-- or

local newDat = {}
newDat.Upgrade = true

or like @1kaelen1 suggested, use the variable as an index.
