I am looking to make the value condition of Sheet A Boolean value “True/False” for example to automatically apply to Sheet B…

What are the correct steps to this? I tried playing around with no luck!

What do you mean by “automatically”? Do you mean on the same row in a specific column?

Easy 🙂 … first you need a rel between the sheets)

Let’s say you have in Sheet A a column called 'IsHamster?" - boolean so yes/no

So in Sheet B

- lookup column - lookup through the rel to Sheet A to IsHamster? – it will display as true/false/empty but function like a boolean

Sheet A  
Job Completed (yes/no)

Selection in Sheet A should auto apply to Sheet B

Sheet B  
Job Completed [yes/no]

**I’m having trouble figuring it out…**

Sheet A  
Job Completed (yes/no)

Selection in Sheet A should auto apply to Sheet B

Sheet B  
Job Completed [yes/no]

Rel Column X to X in sheet A or B?  
Lookup in sheet B correct?

You should do a relation like what Mark said above, using the Job ID (or something unique), then return the boolean via a lookup.

No! that would create the wrong kind of relationship 🙂 🙂

You either need to have a common column between each sheet, OR you create a template column in both sheets, just for the purpose of making rel columns (I use tp-link as a template column with the value ‘link’ ands then use make rel’s based on the link columns).
