Default Trying to shorten (or use new) formula

Hi.

Im probably doing this completely wrong but i want the spreadsheet to return
a value when you enter a number.. ?

Ok.. simple terms.
I have say 100 product codes and their product description detailed on the
spreadsheet. If I enter a product code in to cell E4 (for example) I wish the
cell with the formula in it to return the product description

I have managed this using the below formula

=IF(E4=1,L8,"")&IF(E4=2,L7,"")&IF... and so on to product No. 100

But im finding im having to enter a very long formula and there is only a
specific length the formula can be.

Is there away of shortening the formula or entering a different one to get
the same result .??
Many thanks.. J.
