Default Use a cell with text on it as part of a SUM formula

Using an indirect command, I got "Bond!D1:D5" in cell A1. "Bond" is the
name of one of my tabs.

I want to sum the values in the Bond tab, cells D1:D5, using the text
displayed in cell A1. In other words, I want to use SUM(Bond!D1:D5) in
cell A2, but I don't want to type the "Bond!D1:D5" portion, but rather
pull it from cell A1, which is showing "Bond!D1:D5"...obviously,
=sum("A1") didn't work.

I'm attaching the example in case I have managed to confuse everybody.


Thanks a lot for your help!
