Default Smart VLookup...

My part Number has two "faces" numeric code and Character code
Example
Prod1 is xxxyz numeric say 911-y-z, the y is spec like 10cm,.. and the
z is color So, Item 91113 Ribbon , 10cm ,and yellow.

It also has a name: Ribbon ,10 CM and YELLOW.

If I gave a value of 91100 to Ribbon and 10 to "10 CM" and a 3 to
Yellow then I can transform:
Ribbon 10 CM Yellow to 91100+10+3= 91113

Now the fun part:

I have Column A = Item Description
B = Specs
c = Color

I built 3 Tables to convert Character to Value
So in Column D I have =Vlookup..+VLookup...+VLookup....

The problem is Colum B Table There are Several of them Depending on The
Result of Table A selection

So, back to the example if I have Item 922 I must go to a different
B-Table because it has a DIFFERENT specs say weight

Item 92233 is

Powder, 10 gm , Yellow ( color applies to all items)

Table B2 is different here (it is for Powder)
I have 15gm / 10
23gm/ 20
35gm/ 30

While Table B1 is:( it is for Ribbons)
10cm/ 10
15cm/ 20
40cm/ 30

So back to the Formula in Colum D THe middle Table must be selected
based on the value in Column A

I have to program this rather than build a complicated
formula.Especially these tables are dynamic. Products can expand with
the consequence of different B tables.

In case you may be confused by my naming
I call the table for column A A-Table and Column B B-Table etc

Appreciate your direction in the matter
