The value arguments to Choose can be range references as well as single values.
For example, the formula:
=SUM(Choose(2,A1:A10,B1:B10,C1:C10))
evaluates to:
=SUM(B1:B10)
which then returns a value based on the values in the range B1:B10.
The Choose function is evaluated first, returning the reference B1:B10. The SUM function is then evaluated using B1:B10, the result of the Choose function, as its argument.
