Hi Martin,

For the Item= - Category= Table 2: Input Table.

A2 enter "Item="
A3 enter "Category="
B2 to G2 enter the items, apples, potatoes etc. I added radish in this example.
B3 enter =VLOOKUP(B2,$A$9:$B$14,2,0) and pull across to G3
A9 to A14 list all the items and in B9 to B14 enter if its a fruit or a veg..

Is that something like you wanted?

Regards,
Howard
