Is there a formulas to match a result in a column to a dropdown list column

Hi Team,

I have two columns in my sheet (as per screenshot).

  • Is there a formula that would match the result in "Month Only" column to "Month" column (which is a dropdown list)?
  • PS: Why I need two similar columns in my sheet (you might wonder) - cos my colleague wants a Card View via months and my "Month Only" is not a dropdown list :)

    Hi @Janice Phua

    Hope you are fine, as i see you have a column format formula in the [Month Only] column.

    so the value is populated from deferent sheet or column?

    did you want the value in "month" column to be = to the value in [Month Only] column?

    if this is what you need just use the following formula

    Month@row =  [Month Only]@Row

    Hi @Bassam Khalil, yes I have a formula in the [Month Only] column - the data is from the same sheet (think you provided some help for me when I created this formula).

    Thank you for the formula =[Month Only]@row and it actually triggered a solution that I wanted to resolved i.e. Card View via months 😁
