    use combined text to call a Name

    I need to combine the contents of two cells and have the result return the value of a Named Range(single cell). I am trying to use “&”, to no avail. Here is what I have tried so far:

    Cell E4 = “e”
    Named Range “ePercRange” = 100
    Cell F4 =E4&"PercRange"
    Cell F$ returns = “ePercRange” instead of the value of named range ePercRange

    Is there a way to make the combined text return the value of a Name?

    Thanks
    Robert

    Conor, that works perfect. I modified my formula to:
    =INDIRECT($D$3&"PercRange")
    this will save me alot of time once I get the remainder of the cells setup that need to use the INDIRECT Function.

    Thanks
    Robert
