I am trying to build an roulette game in Excel. Due to this blog post I am able to randomly select numbers that are provided in column D Spin number. Now I would like to auto-fill E, Spin color based on the columns B Actual Number and C Color.
For example: If D is 17 as in D3 (see below), the formula will look up 17 in B which is B10 and will provide the corresponding Color C10 in E Spin Color in E3. Therefore, 17 in D3 would lead to "Black" in E3.
As I am not very strong in Excel I would appreciate, if someone could provide an answer. Thank you so much!
Edit: With every new run the numbers in column D will change and E has to change accordingly.
You can do this with VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP($D2,$B$2:$C$11,2,false)
or with INDEX / MATCH (which is faster):
=INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH($D2,$B$2:$B$11,0))
