So what i am reying to say is;
If the ref cell contains a P in the 3rd position vse the lookup. If not, just stick with the existing reference cell.

In that case, my first formula should work unless I'm missing something.
=If(Mid(D19,3,1)="P",Left(D19,2) & "R" & Right(D19,3),D19)
To whit, if the third character is P, then use the first two original characters, and R, and the last three characters i.e. only change the third character to R if it originally P.
No lookup needed. Simple replacement schema.
