Default multivariable calculations/3d arrays

sorry.
i have to do some thermal calculations with 3 variables:
system type (so a text)
window vision %,
and Glass COG ( another category)
so far, i've set up a chart on a data sheet with the x axis the COG, and y
axis a System type.
where those two meet, i'm i have a linear equation (y= mx + b), where y is
the thermal calc i need, and x is the window percent.

My problem lies where i need to 'call' that equation from the data sheet,
take it to a window frame sheet, and somehow imput a calculated % into the
linear equation.
these percents change, so i can't just plug it in to all the equations.

My question is: can i do that somehow? is it also possible to call a sheet
a variable, so that if the equation is successfully called, it will input a
percent that the sheet that called it has calculated?

Hopefully that's a little more detailed...

is there a way to use an array or something similar to calculate a 3
variable
problem, so that different sheets can reference a formula on another
sheet,
and come up with different values, without having multiple formulas?

something similar to 3D arrays?
i've been using the index function with 2 nested match functions, but that
only helps with 2 variables
