Hello.

I have a sheet that’s pulling data from another sheet via VLOOKUP. And I get to select/enter data via Data Validation.

Here’s a video about how it works: [404 File Not Found - Jumpshare](https://jmp.sh/A27arZm)

Can this select/enter data functionality be replicated/used within Glide? I’m just looking to use it myself, NOT other people.

Thanks.

What was shown in the video can be replicated. Select something via a dropdown or choice component, then based on what was selected via lookups other data related to that choice can populate that same row.

Cheers George!

Will try that out. If all goes well, I’ll be sure to open source this to the Glide community.

Have a great one.
