Help with Yes/No Lookup in SharePoint 2013

Hi there,

I am just beginning to dive into SharePoint 2013. This may sound confusing, but here is what I am attempting to set up:

I have two lists - 'Active Inventory' and 'Printer Inventory'. Inside 'Printer Inventory', I have a yes/no column determining if it is production or not (active). So, my goal is that a column in 'Active Inventory' will look at the 'Printer Inventory' yes/no column, and if it is yes, it will populate. If it is no, then it will not populate.

Is this possible? I have read that a lookup field doesn't work with yes/no columns, but I read somewhere that setting up a workflow could make it possible. I haven't really dealt with workflows yet, so this would be new to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jarrod
