Hello,
How would I use D1 as lookup value to return the color from column B to E1?

Example.png


vlookup(D1,A:B,2,False) is returning blank since it's only picking up the first row's value
The same for index(B:B,match(D1,A:A,0))

How do we skip blanks to return the actual values?
Thanks

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
For 365, how about
Excel Formula:
=FILTER(B1:B10,(B1:B10<>"")*(A1:A10=D1))
