INDIRECT function not working with Defined names in excel

This is:

- [X] a bug report
- [ ] a feature request
- [ ] **not** a usage question (ask them on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/phpspreadsheet or https://gitter.im/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet)

I have an excel file that uses defined names and I use the INDIRECT function to reference them, but this throws an error when trying to access the calculated value of the cell.

What is the expected behavior?

-return the correct value (300 in this case)

What is the current behavior?

PhpSpreadsheet throws the following Exceptions:

What are the steps to reproduce?

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';


$spreadsheet = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'EUR');
$sheet->setCellValue('A2', 'USD');
$sheet->setCellValue('A3', 'EUR');
$sheet->setCellValue('B1', 360);
$sheet->setCellValue('B2', 300);

$spreadsheet->addNamedRange( new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\NamedRange('EUR', $sheet, '=$B$1') );
$spreadsheet->addNamedRange( new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\NamedRange('USD', $sheet, '=$B$2') );
$sheet->setCellValue('B3', '=INDIRECT("USD")');
var_dump($sheet -> getCell('B3') -> getCalculatedValue());


### Which versions of PhpSpreadsheet and PHP are affected?
PhpSpreadsheet 1.17.1
PHP 7.4.16

Not the same problem as #1913, but same function is involved.

[MarkBaker]

Issue here is that the implementation of INDIRECT() only works with actual cell references, and isn't defined name-aware. Need to look at making it so
