Default Can a cell refer to a Range of cells?

When I have 'Germany' in such cell I want a formula that transforms it into
"GERVar" that is range of cells. When another formula (INDEX formula) goes to
that cell, it would see the content of that cell as "GERVar"=Range of cells
and not text only.

Can you help?

Hi Anne

Create a named range called Germany.
InsertNameDefineNameGermany Refers to your_range

With cell A1 containing the word Germany
=INDEX(INDIRECT(A1),3,1) will give the third row of the first column of
the range you defined as Germany.
