A dynamic formula to add/multiply cell values of bundles

[filido]

Hi

I would like to know if it's possible to have a formula that says If column C has "&" then add the values of the respective colors from column B to column D.
So basically if I did it manually, it would look something like in column D. It has to dynamic in a way that no matter how many "&" a cell in column C has, the formula works. I don't want to put a million nested IF statements.

To have this even more complicated, I need to stay away from VBA for now. So I'm looking for a formula to write on the formula bar in Excel.

Thanks!
