Hi, I have a table, where I need the cell to return the corresponding text based on the text I entered in another cell. However, the reference cell, in this example "car"& "van" are grouped as "others" in the data table.

I basically need the data in the yellow cells, B2:D3 to auto populate when I enter the data in cell B1:D1. Bus will have it's own unique colour code, whereas the rest of the vehicles will be grouped as "others" as they have the same colour code. Possible to do it?
