[Solved] Perform table lookup
I have a table of relational values in my spreadsheet. One value from H8 to H18 is to be selected in G6. A corresponding value in K8 to K18 to the value chosen for G6 is to be copied into G7. The FORMAT-CONDITIONAL doesn't seem to support this maneuver. How can I achieve this maneuver? It is essentially IF G6=H8 THEN G7=K8, IF G6=H9 THEN G7=K9, etc.

Setting G7's value has nothing to do with formatting. Values and formats are separate cell properties. Setting the value doesn't affect the format. Setting the format doesn't affect the value.
