Pointing to appropriate cells via formula with variables

[roxdrob]

[FONT=&quot]Full Disclosure: I posted a version of this on one of the other Excel Forums last night, but I haven't received an answer. I'm hoping you guys can help[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What I'm trying to do is create a product title for many different products based on type, color, and whether it has a charm or connector or both. I did a lot of concatenating to get the results I want. I've probably done everything the hard way, so I thought I would throw this out here and see if anyone could tell me if there is an easier way of doing things. The majority of the work is done in the first tab. The 2nd tab is basically a scratch sheet for me.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I would also like to know: Is it possible to do a vlookup on a table that has a concatenated string and somehow in the formula tell it to change the place holder variable to the correct cell in the main sheet? [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Apparently I can't attach anything.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thanks in advance[/FONT]

Here is the formula I'm using:

="Women's Handmade "&D2&" Adjustable Stackable Statement Bracelet "&IF(AND(E2<>"",ISBLANK(F2))," with a "&PROPER(E2)&" Charm",IF(AND(ISBLANK(E2),F2<>"")," with a "&PROPER(F2)&" Connector",IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2),ISBLANK(E2)),"",IF(E2<>""&F2<>""," with a "&PROPER(E2)&" Charm and a "&PROPER(F2)&" Connector",""))))
