Can you filter drop down responses in a column based on the answer in a previous column?
I am working on a scheduling system and I have Primary and secondary locations. I used Drop down menus to organize the data in the primary location and secondary location columns. Can you set up a filter for the possible responses in the secondary location column based on the response selected in the primary column?
For example:
Primary location column lists areas A, B, C, D, E, and F in the drop-down menu. The secondary location list subareas 1 - 100. If areas 1-10 are only available in A. If I select A in the primary location column can I set up a condition that limits the responses to 1-10?

Hi @Jess T.
I hope you're well and safe!
Here are two options.
- Using a form and the Conditional Logic feature and multiple so-called helper columns for each area and subarea
- Using conditional formatting and formulas that display instructions together to guide what to select next in the helper columns
Would any of those options work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

@Andrée Starå From my research in the community it appears that the conditional logic only applies to forms so I'm not sure how to apply that to a grid. Can you provide some examples for links to tutorials? I am very new to smartsheet, and working with a timeline to get this up and running for my team.
