How to Display a Multiple Select Option Conditional

[Artur_Elizarov]

Hello,

I need to figure out how to display multiple select options in a cell that is contingent upon another cell. I’m making a list of corporate goals, then under corporate goals I have department goals. I want my cell to display only goals that I choose from within the department goal category.

I have one column for Strategic Goals, another column for Department, and another column that I want to use to display Departmental Goals. I want to be able to search within the Department to select the goals I want displayed within the cell without it showing me every department goal. Is this doable? Please help asap! Thank you.

Here, I’m using it in what’s become an increasingly common manner: to mean the limiting of available options based on an earlier choice. For example, take a look at the following diagram.

Is it able to display multiple choices? For example I may have 3 goals within the Sales department I want to display from within the cell. Would I be able to choose all 3 or just 1?

I haven’t built that setup myself, but my hunch is that it would allow you to make multiple selections because you are just adding links to another table.
