i have a huge list and i want to look it up in a huge table.
the problem is that some cells have more than a character. adicionally some characters should be ignore and not looked up in that table.
i want to to create a formula so that the result, in that cell, is the sum of the lookups.
example:
thanks in advance

Code:
A VLOOKUP("A";D1:E5;2)
B VLOOKUP("B";D1:E5;2)
AB VLOOKUP("A";D1:E5;2) + VLOOKUP("B";D1:E5;2)
ABC VLOOKUP("A";D1:E5;2) + VLOOKUP("B";D1:E5;2) + VLOOKUP("C";D1:E5;2)
AmB VLOOKUP("B";D1:E5;2) [Am is ignored]
ABmC VLOOKUP("A";D1:E5;2) + VLOOKUP("B";D1:E5;2) [Bm is ignored]
thanks in advance
