Hello, I got help from a previous beta session but now i want to finish the solution to my problem. I am a project manager of a translation company.I have and excel extracted from a website with 3 columns ( the client gave it to us). Column A is the numbering system (from the site). Column B is the English version of the site. Column C is the Greek version of the site.As you can See Column C contains english descriptions and greek. They came to us because the previous company didnt translate those fields. They have english in their greek section. So lets come to our problem. We want to give an offer for translation of english to greek of the C column. In order to do that we want only the english cells of the C column to appear. The beta help gave a solution but that doesnt solve the problem. He gave a formula to d cell to give value 1 for each cell that contains "a" word. But plain "a" word is in greek cells too. I want a formula that gives a 1 or true value to all the cells of the C column that MUST contain 3 continued characters or more from a-z (english) . I choose 3 continued because some greek cells have metrics system for example "kg",other cells are just numbers and other cells are plain letter and number for example D1,D5,A6 (there is no need for translation of those).Then i want to save to a different excel only the C column that shows only the 1 or true valued based on the criteria cells without losing its numbering because after the translation, to give it to the translator and then the C column to be imported back to the website. I attach you the original file.

hi there, I'm trying to use a named range in a camera object. E.g a camera picture, rather than having x1 cell reference is referring to a named range. When I attempt to enter the named range in the formula bar, it says it is not a valid input. I'm using excel 2016. The named range is itself an indirect formula =INDIRECT(CHOOSE('Dynamic Charts - 2'!D15,"'Dynamic Charts - 2'!$D$7","'Dynamic Charts - 2'!$D$8"))

I have many clients. For each client i have a spreadsheet with a to-do list. In this list you can choose if a question is answered or if they stil need help by choosing yes/busy/finished. Is there a possibility to have that link to somewhere where i can see what questions need stil need to be answered or what tasks still need to be done for all clients in a single sheet?

I am trying to create a part code generator. Columns A - F is an example set of criteria, and in row 2, Columns H - J is where you choose from each category what is applicable. The numbers in row 3 below this then populate the correct number that is associated with the category forming part of the part code. However, i want it to hide the non applicable values. So if you choose 'Fixings' (number 2), in category 1, it ONLY shows 'Nuts' and 'Washers' to choose from in category 2... Is this possible??
