Hi there,  
I am trying to populate column cells in a glide sheet based on a relation column data collected in another glide sheet. Is there a way to perform this?  
Thanks a lot!

With what you describe there, I think you should be able to do a set column based on the relation, but if you have some screenshots it would be better for us to understand the structure.

Thanks for the response! I just want a column from one glide sheet to be automatically populated and updated with the content from another glide sheet.  
Thanks!

Are you actually looking for a Lookup column?
