Can a one to many relationship be created in Smartsheets?

For example I have sheet A that has my master list and all components within a "Kit". On sheet B I have multiple kits and would like to reference all the included components. I get that you can link cell to another just like and spreadsheet, but is there a way to link the value?

@Neil Watson<\/a> You should be able to use the LOWER function for evaluation but still output the version that includes caps.<\/p>

I haven't tested it yet, but I feel like it should work.<\/p>"},{"commentID":386435,"body":"

Right. There are already a number of posts here in the community detailing how to pull a distinct or unique list from another sheet via formula. It usually involves the formula above without the LOWER function. The number 1 would output the first distinct value. Changing that to a 2 will output the second distinct value, so on and so forth. I usually use a helper column with the numbers manually entered so I can apply it as a column formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":320,"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":107674,"type":"question","name":"API PUT and Body help for Cell link from a cell in sheet \"a\" to sheet \"b\"","excerpt":"I am having trouble linking a cell from sheet a to b.

Hey @Carlo Rodriguez<\/a> <\/p>

This is how I've successfully added a cell-link using the API:<\/p>


<\/p>

PUT (with the destination sheet data): <\/p>

https:\/\/api.smartsheet.com\/2.0\/sheets\/XXXX\/rows\/X<\/a>XXX<\/p>


<\/p>

Body (with the source sheet data, but the initial ColumnID from the destination sheet to show where to put the link):<\/p>
