Oops! Ok, I'm an idiot. I just realized: If these are _operators_ then "A1~B1"
is an _expression_ and INDIRECT doesn't accept expressions.
So, instead of
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1~B1")), I need to write
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1")~INDIRECT("B1")), which does work.
I don't know what Excel does with these, and the ODFF draft says that INDIRECT
only accepts text references, but if ":" and "~" are operators, then "A1:B1"
looks as much like an expression as "A1~B1". It seems like a natural extension
or enhancement for INDIRECT to be able to accept reference expressions, in
addition to 'plain' references, since it is possible to return a reference for
both cases.
Anyway, never mind; closing as INVALID.
