If you create a standard lookup field which points to a column, and that column contains multiple instances of the same entry, the lookup column will include all of those references in the lookup field. A Bamboo Selector field, however, will only display unique values. It also enables users to quickly filter the available choices by typing the first several letters of their selection.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bamboo Linked Selector<\/strong> column includes all of the functionality of the Bamboo Selector, and can also create a dependant relationship between two lookup fields, so that the value selected in one affects the available values in the other. This enables you to base the choices listed under &#8220;City&#8221; on the value selected in &#8220;State&#8221;, so that the user is only presented with relevant choices. <\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bamboo Rich Text<\/strong> column enables you to store large amounts of styled, formatted text within a SharePoint column, allowing content such as Knowledge Base articles and internal documents to be stored without resorting to attachments or document libraries. Bamboo Rich Text columns also support the use of embedded images (and automatic uploading to a specified Picture Library), and enable the use of a multi-language spell check function during editing. <\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bamboo Visual Indicator <\/strong>column allows you to display list information as a Color Indicator (choice\/lookup information) or a Percentage\/Status Bar (percentage information). The Color Indicator supports a large number of choices, and can be customized to display a different color for each.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m getting asked this a lot, of whether you can have a choice column in a SharePoint list provide a list of values and based on the selection in that list, have another choice column display relevant choices.\u00a0 For example, if you choose Canada as a country from a \u2018countries\u2019 list, you would then be &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[337,14,338,339],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>SharePoint Dependent Lookup Columns - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SharePoint Dependent Lookup Columns - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I\u2019m getting asked this a lot, of whether you can have a choice column in a SharePoint list provide a list of values and based on the selection in that list, have another choice column display relevant choices.\u00a0 For example, if you choose Canada as a country from a \u2018countries\u2019 list, you would then be &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-02-08T21:32:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\",\"name\":\"SharePoint Dependent Lookup Columns - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-02-08T21:32:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2009-02-08T21:32:41+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#\/schema\/person\/74e1c0def190f181c1394c2b6d883e77\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2009\/02\/08\/sharepoint-dependent-lookup-columns\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Brainlitter\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"SharePoint Dependent Lookup Columns\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/\",\"name\":\"Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\",\"description\":\"Dad.
