Good Day Dear Experts,

I wish to use the text value in a cell to refer to a defined Name with a specific numerical value.
Somehting like this:
A1 = bwt
Using Name Definition: bwt = 100.
C1 = bwt* (another number).
However, I want to use the cell value as a reference to the defined Name, i.e:
C1 = A1 * (another number)
Is that possible? If yes, how?

Thanks for your help.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Hi,

thanks for the answer.
INDIRECT seems to work only if the name refers to a range, i.e. bwt = A1.
However, I have defined "bwt" as a constant without referring to a range, i.e. bwt = 100.
Here, INDIRECT didn't help. Or I couldn't get it to work.
