    Hi Innovation Cell,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you are trying to match a value from the Spreadsheet to form to a dropdown, then it should have the same value, including the capitalization of the text. Once you have this properly matched, the referencing from the spreadsheet data will find a match in the dropdown field. Here is an example of a spreadsheet that I have uploaded in a test form:

    While in the form, the options are also in small caps:

    So when I run a look-up on the spreadsheet to form using the ID column, this is how it works:
