Hi
I'm trying to create a formula that auto "pull in" names that are assigned to a specific group number. For example, i have a table below to start off -

typegroup
orange A2
orange b4
orange c2
orange d2

<tbody>
</tbody>


I then want to create a formula that automatically pulls in the type name (2nd column) based on the group number I entered in the 1st column.
group type
2orange a
2orange c
2orange d
4orange b

<tbody>
</tbody>

I'm not sure if this can be achieved at all, hoping the Excel gurus out there can lend me a hand! Appreciated any help in advance.

Regards,
