How do I refer to the results of a function in a cell not the form
 
How do use the contents of a cell that is getting it's contents from another
cell
e.g. in cell K:10 I am joining the contents of cells I:10 and J:10 using the
&. I want to use the results of this join as a data range for a running
chart . Consequently K:10 now displays $E$4:$27.

The problem is that if refer to K:10 in another formula or in a data series
range, Excel reads the formula in K:10 not the actual value

It shouldn't be. It should refer to the value/text that is returned,
not to the formula itself. What formulas are you using?

Believe you could try using INDIRECT to resolve the concat string
But in your line:
Consequently K:10 now displays $E$4:$27

$E$4:$27 doesn't look like a valid range

Btw, I presumed you meant cell K10 when you write "K:10"
