    Help using named range with index function

    I have an index function:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Cell B4 allows you to select a value from a list, and each value is the name of a named cell range.

    For example, if I set B4 to equal "_CGF01", I want the INDEX function to reference the first row and first column in range _CGF01. However, this formula just returns the value _CGF01 instead of using the lookup within that range. How can I fix this?

    Thanks!
