You probably need the INDIRECT() function

Default error with adress function

Keeping with your syntax, you could use:

=sum(a1;indirect(address(1;c1)))
or a formula that will only recalculate when it needs to.
=sum(a1;index(1:1;c1))


===
Formulas with =indirect() in them will recalc whenever excel recalcs.
