I have been doing a Canvas App where I puta a Dropdown associated to SharePoint List (1), that contains all the items that I would like to choose in one row each, this is intended to choose the right column for another SharePoint List (2). For this I want to put a value in a Text Input and Patch the SharePoint List (2), by using SharePoint List (1) as my Column and Text Input as my Value.
As long as the names in the drop downs match your datasource names correctly you shouldn't have an issue achieving this.
Assuming below dropdown 2 is your sharepoint lists (2), Dropdown 1 is your column to patch (1) and TextInput1 is your value you wish to patch
Patch(Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value,Defaults(Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value),{Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value:TextInput1.Text})

I'm looking for the solution in excel data validation for 2 drop down list.
When I choose 1st drop down list 2nd drop down list will auto populate the correct value from table. If user choose 2nd drop down list 1st drop down list will auto populate the value also.
Can someone help me on this issue ?
I attach the sample file for my problem.

thanks!
Sample File
Trying to do a two way I don't think is going to work in the way you are trying so I am not surprised the examples you found were for one-way. I am open to being corrected.
You could hack around it for example using two form control listboxes linked to the same cell so a selection in one updates the other.
Then because an item might be out of view listbox underneath have two cells which use the linked cell to index back into the source lists.
In the example above, there are two list boxes from form controls in developer tab (customize ribbon > add developer tab.
Developer tab form control - 2nd from the right
You add two of these in to the sheet.
Right click format control on each one
Set the input range to the range containing your list of values for that listbox and set the linked cell e.g. G1
Ensure that whilst you select different input ranges for each list box, they should have the same linked cell e.g. G1.
Underneath the listboxes put a formula which uses the linked cell G1 to index back into the source lists for each listbox so you can retrieve the selected value and have it visible, in case not visible within listbox.
Example testing:
I have a form on Sharepoint, whereby I have 2 drop-down controls.
Lets say the first one has values "A, B and C" to choose from.
According to the option selected in the 1st drop-down, I will have to populate the 2nd drop-down accordingly.
Is there a way to do that in Sharepoint Designer or Infopath?
The dropdown are both created similarly;
Or if I can at least filter the 2nd drop down, according to the value chosen in the 1st drop down.
I am newbie in Sharepoint dev, and need some tips on the above.
if I've understood you correctly, what you are trying to do is populate the 2nd dropdown list based on what is selected from the first.
Have you tried to put a filter on the 2nd drop-down, like this...?
Open up your list form in InfoPath
Right click on the 2nd choice field and select, 'Drop-down List Box Properties'
Click on the button to the right of 'Entries'
Click on 'Filter Data' button
Click on 'Add'
Enter the condition (i.e. 'Choice' is equal to 'Choice', or whatever the name of your 1st choice field is.)
Does that work? (I'm assuming you aren't using a secondary data source.)
There are two ways to make drop down list in Excel:
Data validation list
Combobox form control
Now in my project I have Data validation dropdown lists wich can be too long and I want to add search functionality for it. I've find some solutions but only for combobox control, which not applicable for my Excel document, because theese dropdown lists should be repeated in each row:
Is there any possible solution to add search functionality to datavalidation dropdown list?
I have a cell with a dropdown menu of 20 items in a list. Upon clicking one of these 20 items, I want the next cell to produce another drop down with a list of options. The list in this dropdown will differ depending on what choice is taken from the first drop down. Following this, I want the chosen option in the second dropdown to output a number in another cell. Thanks.
You'll have to start by creating Named Lists of dependent list, and use INDIRECT function in Data Validataion -> List to achieve dependent drop down list or cascading drop down list.
Its explained in detail with screen shots here!

I have a standard list in SharePoint, one column of which is of type Person or Group.
When I'm viewing the list from a standard view, the dropdown filter for that column lists, as expected, only those people who are already listed as a value for at least one row.
However, when I view the list from a datasheet view, the dropdown filter lists all of the groups and users on the entire site instead of just those users who are values on the list.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to configure the datasheet-view dropdown list to only show those users that are listed in a field?
