Excel multiline formulas
 

Add Cell local variables. Allow a cell to have multiline formulas, which can
speed up calculations such as those that use large SUMPRODUCT() queries.

For example, instead of :
=if(SUM('DO 4 MDSE:Blank'!C4),SUM('DO 4 MDSE:Blank'!C4),NA())

allow:
;TempVar=SUM('DO 4 MDSE:Blank'!C4);=If (TempVar, TempVar, NA())

Excel multiline formulas
 

Try InsertNameDefine, Names in Workbook - TempVar, Refres to -
=SUM('DO 4 MDSE:Blank'!$C$4).
Now you can use TempVar in a formula as you have requested.
PS the $ signs are important.
