If i am getting your problem then you want to achieve this->

1. You have List A and List B.

2. List A has 3 drop down columns.

3. You want to add a look up column in List B that brings all columns of List A.

4. When you add lookup column and add column that you want to insert, columns from List A does not get displayed in List B

am i right?

If yes then your solution goes here

1. No. Its not possible to get look up column on choice field.

But Yes you have 2 options.

1. Programmatic way.

2. Lazy work.

I can explain lazy work i like most as follows:

1. Create one more column in list A where you have another column of choice fields.

2. Scroll down and select Choice as reference for your calculated column.

3. now Create a Lookup column in List B and insert list A calculated column you just created.

4. That's it, you got the values.

Cheers!!

Why you can't take the Calculated column.....

Is it available in list of options or not to use? or you don't want to use it?
