Forgot to mention, cells I1:L1 are dynamic, meaning that it will change. So, I will need the yellow cells to auto update whenever I change the data in I1:L1.

Thanks!

Pull this to the right

Excel Formula:
=LET(x,SEARCH(" ",I1&" ")+1,INDEX($B$2:$D$4,MATCH("*"&MID(I1,x,10)&"*",$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH(LEFT(I1,x-2),$B$1:$D$1,0)))

Thanks JEC! However, this formula would not work if there is an additional text, like van mini or van mini light, correct?

No it won't. I assumed that you did not have duplicate additionals

I just noticed that some of the items' description are two words instead of one :(

Will try to work around it. Thanks so much for your help!
