Default How to find SUM when you already have the range?

Hi all,
I have a situation where column A has different range value, I would like
to find the sum for the indicated range in the colum A. What should I write
in colum B (say in cell B2) instead of typing of "=SUM(" then drag cell D5
through D10?

Column A Column B
Range Total
D5:D10 =SUM(D5:D10)
D7:D9

Many thanks,

Try this:

A1 = D5:D10

=SUM(INDIRECT(A1))
