If I had known this yesterday, I would have helped him.
Here "will" replaces "would" because of structure.
If+sub+had+v3, sub+would have+v3.

Is sentence is (past tense). Then, future of this sentence will be also (past tense).
Eg; will past tense is would.

If you are wishing something or want to do in future or past, so you have to use '' would'' instead of ''will''.

Dinesh is right. It is past conditional sentence.
Both the actions, "I has known this yesterday" & "I would have helped him" have already completed & past actions. So we have to use "I would have helped him", instead of "will have".
For future actions, we can use "will have".
For eg.
If she invite us for the marriage, we will have nice time there.
