    Cool condensing a disjointed table, with lookups

    hi there,

    i'm trying to take a table of disjointed data, and segregate the 'true' items into 1 final condensed table; hopefully in order or their appearance in the original.
    the final table would make a better reference using vlookup, etc.
    excel 2010 btw.

    an example is in the attachment; i'd like to get the final yellow table to reference. here it is copy & pasted in txt..not sure if the spaces are going to process accordingly in the thread...
    A B C D
    1| produce variety color
    2| =if(color)="red", True, false
    3| Apples mcintosh red TRUE
    4| Apples gala red & white FALSE
    5| Apples grannysmith green FALSE
    6| Apples red delicious red TRUE
    7|
    8| =if(color)="yellow",true,false
    9| Corn Taber yellow TRUE
    10| Corn Maize multi FALSE
    11| Corn Sweet yellow TRUE
    12| Corn Peaches & cream yellow TRUE


    ref table - red & color produce ("Trues")

    Mcintosh Apple red
    Red Delicious Apple red
    Taber Corn yellow
    Sweet Corn yellow
    Peaches & Cream Corn yellow

    how would i get this final table condensed down; then i can use hlookup, or index, etc.?

    thanks for any input; and eat your vegetables - they're good for you!

    You could provide a real workbook instead of pictures.
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
    Vladimir
