@ganeshsanap , may I also ask you to support my intent to improve my SP list? I have a drop-down list with 4 options, one of them is "Acceptance". Another column has the following values: "low", "medium", "high".
I would like to apply the validation so that if in the 1 column, we have the "low" value, in the 2nd we have automatically populated the "Acceptance" option. In all other cases for "medium" and "high," we should be able to select from the drop-down options, including "Acceptance".
Do you think that this is possible at all?
Thank you in advance for your response.

ganeshsanap hello can you also help me, the column is budget needed? Yes/No, if user select yes the they need to input the budget amount in the column Value.
I tried this formula but I’m having error
=IF(Budget Needed="Yes",IF([Value]<>"",TRUE,FALSE),TRUE)
Melow28 Is your "Budget Needed" of column type "Choice" or "Yes/No" (Boolean)?
Try using formula like:
=IF([Budget Needed]="Yes",IF(ISBLANK([Value]),FALSE,TRUE),TRUE)Make sure to use the correct display names of your list columns in formula. Also, check above responses/Notes for more understanding.

ganeshsanap thanks for the tip, I tried it but I'm having error. What I would like to have is if someone selected Budget Shift is needed "Yes" , then they will be required to input in the Euro Value column the amount , but if they select "No" in column Budget Shift is needed, then they will not be required to input amount in the Euro Value column
