How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Hi, I am trying to figure out from the list on the right, how I can set an Input "Fruit" and then the Output will populate in order down the table listing all Outputs that have the Input on the same line.

you can try PowerQuery (aka Get&Transform)

load source table into PQ
create input table and load into PQ

[Table="width:, class:head"]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Ref No[/td][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Item 1[/td][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Item 2[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Input[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Output[/td][/tr]

[/td][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]Apple[/td][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]Lettuce[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]


then use :

Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table1),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"Ref No", "Item 1", "Item 2"}, {"Ref No", "Item 1", "Item 2"}),
    #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Output", each if [Input] = [Item 1] then [Item 2] else if [Input] = [Item 2] then [Item 1] else null),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"Output"}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each ([Output] <> null))
in
    #"Filtered Rows"[/SIZE]

if you change input "fruit" use Ctrl+Alt+F5 to refresh query table
