Post From: Spreadsheet functions INDIRECT & CONCATENATE examples

Hi,

I am trying to use a combination of concantenate to form a reference to a cell range from text i.e
=CONCATENATE("BC3:", "BC", TEXT(H54))
which returns BC3:BC7
I am then trying to use INDIRECT to use that text formed cell reference to return for example the sum of that range
=SUM(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("BC3:", "BC", TEXT(H54)) ))
but I keep on getting #REF! or #SYNTAX!

Is it possible to use text ranges with SC spreadsheet function INDIRECT and can you please provide an example of how I can do this?

Regards
