Data validation multiple criteria - Ticketing system
Where is that status column? Could you post screenshots of they layout (with anonymized data)? Or attach a small sample workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive data), or if that is not possible, make it available through OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or similar?

HansVogelaar, thanks a lot! I have attached a version of it now.
So let's say that from the "Engineer assign" column of the the MainTable we choose Michael from the data validation dropdown list on row number 6 and we change the status to "Work in Progress"
When I want to add another task on row number 7 and access the data validation list from "Engineer assign" column, well I expect not to see anymore Michael's name in there because it's associated with a task already (Work in progress status) and he can be selected only if we change the status of its task (row #6) to "Completed" or "Not assigned".
So there's a big algorithm that contains Filtering, Vlookup (maybe?) and data validation.
Thanks a lot for your effort of answering me!

- AdinelBMar 30, 2023Copper ContributorHi, peiyezhu,
Well, from your video it looks great. Exactly what I was looking for.
There's a lack of experience from my side when it comes to Java Script, so I really don't know how I could get this done.
Do you have any suggestion from your side? I'm really looking forward to adopt it somehow if I can have your support on this. 🙂
Thank you for your time!

Thanks. Perhaps someone else will come up with a clever data validation solution among the lines of Hide Used Items in Drop Down List
In the attached version, I used Data Validation to highlight name conflicts.
