Using a Variable inside of a SumIf equation

[kengooch]

I have a Named Range of values that I need to lookup a value in as my SumIf identifier for the total. However the Table can have additions and deletions and then be resorted so that the direct reference becomes a different value. I am summing three different values to get a composit total. Here is the equation that works, IF I don't change the order of items in the named range.
=SUMIF(tLUEvnts,Key!A13,tMins) + SUMIF(tLUEvnts,Key!A14,tMins)+SUMIF(tLUEvnts,Key!A25,tMins)

The issue I face is that the value Key!A13 in the first Sumif and the value Key!A14 and Key!A25 can change position based on additions deletions and resorting in the Named Range. I can actually generate the Location Reference with the following three equations
ADDRESS(MATCH((VLOOKUP((MID(E66,(FIND("Huddle",E66)),6)),tEvntsTm,1)),tEvnts,0)+3,1) yields the value $A$13 ADDRESS(MATCH((VLOOKUP((LEFT(E66,7)),tEvntsTm,1)),tEvnts,0)+3,1) yields the value $A$14 ADDRESS(MATCH((VLOOKUP(MID(E66,FIND(",",E66)+2,3),tEvntsTm,1)),tEvnts,0)+3,1) yields the value $A$25

The problem is, if I paste those values inline over the A13, the A14 and the A25, I get an error. I have tried using & "" and other means of getting the primary SumIF equation to accept the fixed Named range Value "Key!" and then combine it with the variable value ADDRESS(MATCH((VLOOKUP((MID(E66,(FIND("Huddle",E66)),6)),tEvntsTm,1)),tEvnts,0)+3,1)

Is it possible to marry these two values so that Excel reads them as a literal cell reference $A$13 so that my SumIf function will work?
Thanks so much in advance for any help with this!

Is it possible to marry these two values

in other States that is possible even when they both have Tails.
why don't you put your Formula in a Cell and use Indirect() function, pointing to that Cell.

Not really answering your question, but it's a bit weird using a match and a VLookup in conjunction.
The more usual method is to use Index and Match as per https://exceljet.net/index-and-match

Be careful, Arnel... your sense of humor is showing. (Not that I disapprove, you understand.)
