INDIRECT() evaluates cell references are display their contents...You can try
something like the below.

=EquateFormula(A1)

Function EquateFormula(strData As String) As Variant
EquateFormula = Application.Evaluate("=" & strData)
End Function

I thought =INDIRECT(A1) would reflect 4 whereas it is returning #Ref!
How to carryout the desired function?
