2 Stretch Actions control Label

I'd like to create a rectangle with a stretch action for each dimension limited to a list of lengths on both. All combinations of lengths have a corresponding label that should be displayed in the center of the rectangle. Is this possible? To have the 2 stretch actions control the label, maybe thru the use of a lookup table or something similar?

Here is a short list of the possible values

length   width   label

104        28       137

114        28       138

104       29        143

114       29        144

Yes, it's possible with a lookup and an attribute with a field to display the value OR a block properties and an attribute that has the value written by the block properties table.

I've tried lookup tables, which work fine if you want to specify dimensions from a drop down but I fail to see how they could work the other way around. Could you provide more detail?

They do not work the other way around.  If you wanted the dimension to be controlled by the label (attribute) then you should have said so and I would have told you it was not possible.  What you said you wanted was for each dimension to be controlled by a list which is exactly what a lookup or block properties table does.  The value(s) then written to an attribute exactly match what you requested in your initial post.
