Hi, so I got this raw data

[TABLE="width: 200"]
<colgroup><col span="2"><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Class[/TD]
[TD]Hobbies[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Andrew[/TD]
[TD]Apple[/TD]
[TD]Swimming[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD]Ricky[/TD]
[TD]Apple[/TD]
[TD]Reading[/TD]

[TD]Edwin[/TD]
[TD]Orange[/TD]
[TD]Tennis[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]James[/TD]
[TD]Pear[/TD]
[TD]Reading[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

and I want to make drop down list with multiple condition (in this case, class and hobbies will be the dropdown) that will result in specific name, like this

[TABLE="width: 128"]
<colgroup><col width="64" style="width:48pt" span="2"> </colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: transparent"]Class[/TD]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: #FFFF00"]Apple[/TD]

[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Hobbies[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #FFFF00"]Reading[/TD]

[TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]-[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Is there any excel formula that I could use to get this result?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You can drag A10 down as many matches as you think there might ever be (ie. 5 rows down).

Pls reply if you have any further questions

Or, you can also do this one:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$5,SMALL(IF(MMULT(--(TRANSPOSE($B$7:$B$8)=$B$2:$C$5),{1;1})=2,ROW($B$2:$B$5)-ROW($B$2)+1),ROWS($A$10:A10))),"")

Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself

Sure, let's just say that with my current example I want to add another condition, like Surname
I want to know how the formula works if you don't mind :)

Thanks!
