title: Representing an Excel cell address in a formula using the string values of other Excel cells?
body: <p>Say I want the answer to this type of <code>formula = SUM(startcell:endcell)</code> but the <code>startcell</code> and <code>endcell</code> components change.</p>
  
  <p>So instead of using <code>C1</code> directly in a formula to represent the value in cell <code>C1</code>, I want to be able to use whatever the values are in and <code>B1, B2, and B3</code> to construct something that can represent <code>C1</code> in a formula? </p>
  
  <p>Perhaps a better way to ask the question is, Does Excel have something like Python's <code>eval()</code> ?</p>
