drop down and if fomular possible

Christine Menke

Hi Experts,

I have enter this formal in my column

=IF(FIND("PRIME", [Sustainability and Ethics Compliance]@row) > 0, "pls select", "No need")

If"pls select" is the result, I would like that you are able to select other words from the pull down.

I have added in my pulldown :

pls select

No need

Yes

No

But in the column the pull down tap is not showing up. So I'm not able to select something new.

Is this normal, that I cannot combine a formula with a pull down?

Thanks

Hi @Christine Menke

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, it's normal. You can't combine manual entry and formulas.

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, you could use a so-called helper column to select the value instead.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
