Is it possible to grab logic rules stored in Excel to use in VBA If statement

Hi All,
I am trying to automate updating a series of spreadsheets. The data is a forecast summary. In some worksheets, the data may be rolled up and presented by a family group, others may be by sub-families. In some cases, the top families are summarized individually and the smaller ones are rolled up together, or a family is summarized less one subfamily and then that subfamily is presented alone.

I have mapped out by each group with the file to open, worksheet, UOM column to use, and all of the logic. I would have no issue with having it summarize just individual family or subfamily. But is there a way to store the logic rules for each group in a table with the mapping and use it in my vbacode for the more complicated groups?

For example, to have an if statement set up that uses a variable to refer to a logic string in a cell in each row with the logic such as:
"Family = FamA"
"Subfamily = SubFam1"
"Subfamily = SubFam9 OR Subfamily = SubFam10"
"Family = FamB and Subfamily <> SubFam6"

Family and Subfamily are variable names in the program.

Please let me know if there is anyway to do something like this

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Any one have any thoughts or workarounds? I finished writing the code and it updates all of the files for the ~100 lines that are one full family or subfamily. I still have to manually update each case with special conditions. I can now upate all o he standard lines in under a minute, but it takes over an hour to manually update the last 10 special cases.

Appreciate any thoughts to do this.
