I have a unique reference number in Sheet1 that currently has an index match formula from another data set in Sheet2. This works fine like so:
=INDEX(Produce!$M$2:$M$2000,MATCH($E2,Produce!$F$2:$F$2000,0))
However the data being retrieved is unnecessarily detailed and needs to be categorised. For example I'm bringing back apples, bananas and oranges - when I want to bring back "Fruits".
I don't want to edit the data in Sheet2 so I have Sheet3 which categorises the data from Sheet2. ie.
Apple Fruit
Carrot Veg
Orange Fruit
Pear Fruit
Pea Veg
What I want to acheive is a formula that will see the URN, identify it refers to an apple, then bring back a result of Fruit.
I have hundreds on items that fit into 10 categories. I don't want to mess around with the data in Sheet2. Thanks.
