Default Is it possible to call an excel function indirectly?

Seems like something to avoid... it crashed XL 97 when I tried it.

Is it possible to use a referenced text cell in Excel to call up functions
form the cells that reference this text?

For example if in Cell A1 I have the text "Mode" can I use another cell say
C2 to reference that cell and produce the mode of a named range? And then, if
I were to change A1 to "Average" for C2 to display the average of the named
range?
