    Good morning-

    Without using List Validation settings (which I haven't got access to), is it possible to create a pop up inside an IF..THEN which asks for a parameter, within a calcuated column?

    In other words, can I do something like this (but I know this specific text doesn't work):

    IF ([For Life] = "Yes","N/A",[enter ending date])

    The result I'm looking for is that if the user selects Yes in the [For Life] column, then the calculated column would show "N/A", otherwise, there would be a pop up (similar to what happens in Access) asking for the ending date, and then the date entered appears in the calculated column.

    Thanks!

    You cannot achieve this using OOB calculated column.

    Instead use sharepoint designer workflow with following steps...

    • Set workflow start option on Item creation
    • Add an association form with checkbox [For Life] and date picker control [enter ending date]
    • As association form is a InfoPath form, you can enable/disable the date control based on the checkbox selection
    • Then within workflow set the current item field with proper value from initiation form

    Hope this will help you. If you want I can provide you a workable demo on this.
