evaluates to a single string, and the full argument to EVALUATE is a
single string. In the second expression, the term


Sheet4!$D$2:$D$9


evaluates to an array, and the full argument to EVALUATE is an array
of strings. The XLM EVALUATE function can't handle array arguments.


So, no, not possible.


Thank You Harlan Grove,

Too bad there is not away around this using native functions in excel.



Harlan,

I have cells from D2:D300 how can I get the EVALUATE to work with that
many cells? I tried to add more cell locations in the Define Name box
but it has it limits, I think but not sure it has to do with the 255
characters.
