    Name Manager

    say i have a range of name called Red_Fruit, Blue_Fruit
    and i have a box to input the color of a fruit
    I want to be able to select a list of fruit based on the color chosen

    How would i call back the name if only part of the name changes?

    Maybe?

    =Indirect(A1&"_fruit")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Are you trying to create a new drop down list or just list the results in A2, downwards.

    Try, in A2:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT($A$1&"_Fruit"),ROWS($A$1:$A1),COLUMNS($A$1:A$1)),"")

    copied down and over to next column...
