Indirect seems to work for group function “:” =SUM(INDIRECT(“F4:” & “D” & L2))
When I try to use other functions it gives a #REF! error: =SUM(INDIRECT(“F4+” & “D” & L2))
Is there a workaround?
INDIRECT returns reference (i.e., it returns range of cells). What range do you expect from an expression like “F4+D6”?
I see. Is there some other way to perform this intent, use the value in a cell as a row value in an arithmetic expression?
=F4+INDIRECT(“D”&L2)
Perfect, the light comes on.

INDIRECT returns a reference to a range of cells, it is not a way to write arbitrary formulas in textual form.
To add a fixed cell to a cell with address taken indirectly, use
=F4+INDIRECT("D"&L2)
