Looking for a more elegant way to assign units in to a table

Looking for a more elegant way to assign units in to a table

(OP)
Currently i'm taking a column from a table, stripping out the NaN's for 0's, and multiplying it by the unit. A drop down menu is used to select the corresponding variable you're looking for:

     height:=((Information^<3>)^T)*in

     height[item_selected=7*in

where item selected is a number returned from a drop down box component in correspondence to the part's location in the table of information.

Is there a less clunky way to do this?

I have a good 30 variables per selection, a huge table (around 1800 rows) and a ton of if-then statements to throw in this thing afterwards... anything that might increase usability by not having it take a week would definitely be the tilting point between handy and waste of time.
