Default Named range=Column title,comumn title in cellB6 use B6in equation

I am trying to type a column title in a cell say B6, the column title = a
named range.
then I want to use the cell reference B6 in an equation that counts the
number of times a word appears in the named range? Is this Possible?
example SUMPRODUCT(--(b6="wip"))
