Powdered milk is dehydrated milk ground to a fine powder, used to boost protein in breads or to stand in for liquid milk when reconstituted. To swap powdered for liquid milk, mix about 4 tablespoons of powder with 1 cup of water for a close match in volume and richness. See what 100 grams of powdered milk is in cups.

Condensed milk is milk with most of its water removed and a heavy dose of added sugar, so it is far thicker and sweeter than regular milk. The two are not a 1:1 swap; for a quick stand-in for condensed milk, gently simmer milk with sugar until reduced and thickened. See what 100 grams of condensed milk is in cups.

Evaporated milk is unsweetened milk reduced by about 60% in volume, leaving a thicker, richer liquid than regular milk. To use evaporated in place of milk, dilute with an equal part water; to use milk in place of evaporated, gently simmer to reduce by half. See what 100 grams of evaporated milk is in cups.

Heavy cream is far richer than milk, with around 36% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup); for a closer stand-in when a recipe calls for heavy cream, mix 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of melted butter. See what 100 grams of heavy cream is in cups.

Soy milk is the non-dairy milk that bakes and cooks closest to dairy, since its 3% protein curdles and foams like cow's milk. They are close in weight (245 g vs 258 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in custards, cream sauces, and bakes. See what 100 grams of soy milk is in cups.
