Default Lookup field question

I would like to use the lookup field but it only seems to give me a limited
number of columns to choose from is there a way to give me access to the full
list of columns in a list?

Also is there a way that I can use the lookup field with rules i.e. Column
V=Y in list z where Column A=1009

Thanks

Default Lookup field question

In the standard VLOOKUP function you have access to any of the columns to the
right of the lookup range. If you want to see what's in column Z when you
look up something in column A:
=VLOOKUP(something,A1:Z1000,25,FALSE)
for example.
If you need to access columns to the LEFT, then you can use LOOKUP, or a
combination of INDEX/MATCH
Sorry, I don't understand your 2nd question.
