Improvements to SharePoint's standard reference functions. SharePoint Cascaded Lookup is a powerful look-up tool that greatly enhances the lookup functionality already native to SharePoint. It quickly cross-references existing data from a list or site within the same site collection and then applies a combination of filters to reduce the number of options presented in the dropdown menu of your lookup field. To use it, you set a combination of filters available in both the source list (the list you are looking up from) and the target list (the list where you want to add looked-up information) to ensure that only applicable values are displayed as choices in the dropdown list.

Look up and filter information from lists in other sites. SharePoint Cross-Site Lookup allows you to look up information from lists in another sites and filter Cross-Lookup fields by selecting list views.

SharePointBoost's SharePoint Cross-Site Lookup find-as-you-type function makes all the objects in the Dropdown list with the same letter as the input word shadowed, which enables them to be selected quickly. You can also filter values of Cross-Site Lookup columns by selecting a list view of the looked-up list.
