Can i populate data referring to multi select drop down(as a primary key)?

i have a column with multi select drop down option, i need to populate the data from another sheet referring to the drop downs select. How can i refer the first column as primary key to populate the rest of the data. My primary key would be the multiple dropdowns selected.

    Hi @Umme Salma

    I hope you're well and safe!

    You'd combine the values selected to a string that we'd match against the other string.

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
