    Post Auto generating list

    I am trying to setup a excel spreadsheet that when a certain letter is inserted into a cell then it will generate a list based on that value.

    An example is im setting up a product.
    This product can have different colour variations.
    The product code will be

    TABLE/B - for a black table

    TABLE/w - for a white table

    I want the "Table" and "Black" to be in separate columns.

    In the "table" part there is
    -top
    -legs
    -screws

    In the black "component" there is
    -Black paint

    In the Grey "component" there is
    -Grey paint

    What I am trying to achieve is that if lets say column A1 has the word TABLE in it then and A2 has B in it the list shall be-
    -top
    -legs
    -screws
    -Black paint

    But if I change A2 to grey then Black will be replaced with-
    -Grey Paint

    Re: Auto generating list

    Discontinuous tables are VERY messy to work with. Is it possible to have the word Table in A5 & A6, as well?

    Like this:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$4:$B$20)/($A$4:$A$20=$E$3:$F$3),ROWS($1:1))),"")

    It will me much messier if you cannot accept the point made in my previous post.

    Sorry to be a pain,

    How would you go about adding a quantity column that will pull through if a value is met?
