I am trying to use a formula similar to match index that will allow me to index based like/similar words in cell. I want the result in Table 2. Table 2 does contain the exact words in Table 1, fruit column I am unable to use index to bring over the totals to Table 2

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

=INDEX($J$7:$J$9,MATCH("APPLES*",$I$7:$I$9,0))
=INDEX($J$7:$J$9,MATCH("BANANA*",$I$7:$I$9,0))
=INDEX($J$7:$J$9,MATCH("ORANGE*",$I$7:$I$9,0))

using vlookup

=VLOOKUP("Apples*",$I$14:$J$16,2,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP("BANANA*",$I$14:$J$16,2,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP("ORANGE*",$I$14:$J$16,2,FALSE)

modify as required.
