Default Text to value

Hi all, would appreciate some help

I've got the following string

"week"&RIGHT(A6,2)&"move99.5" which looks something like this
"week05move99.5"

I have defined the name (week05move99.5 to equal 500) so basically when I
type in (week05move99.5) I want to see 500.

now because "week"&RIGHT(A6,2)&"move99.5" = "week05move99.5" which is a Text
string I dont get any value.

I have tried VALUE ("week"&RIGHT(A6,2)&"move99.5") but I get #VALUE!

Has anyone got any good ideas.

thx!!!!!!!
