    Ricard – When I've run into this situation, I usually find that the easiest way to handle it is to write a workflow with SharePoint Designer that will copy the value in the Calculated column to a coloum with the proper data type and have it run whenever the item changes.

    Ken – You could create a Site Column of type Lookup. You will need to create that in the Subcontracts site where the list on which you are looking up resides. Then, the other sites that you want to use that Site Column will need to be sub-sites of that one. Site Columns are inherited [...]

    Ken – A few more ideas…
    – Is it possible that there is another required metadata field on the library besides the category column you created? If so, you'll have to add this column to the view you are using when you click on Datasheet View. This could even be something that has been added [...]
