How can I use data validation drop down list to do the following: When the user picks a fruit in the second table (using a data validation list pulled from the first table), the corresponding colour should appear in the colour column. If the user then selects a different colour in the colour column, the fruit column should change accordingly.
E.g., if I pick Apples, then the adjacent cell should show Red. If I change Red to Yellow, the cell under Fruits should show Bananas.
I tried INDEX MATCH formula, but I could only make it work one way.
