<span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Hello David, </span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">thanks for the helpful answer. That was the problem indeed. The cells didn't have any values (cause there was no need to). I added at the end of the file dummy cell-values, and the method works fine! Now I can see the cell numbers at the spreadsheet and extract the parts I want. <br>
Even though It seems to be a dirty trick around the problem ;)<br><br>Thanks again, <br>dqdev<br><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><div style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;" class="gmail_quote">

That usually means that there are no cell centered values to choose<br>from. In that case I am not sure if the element inspector shows any of<br>the cells.<br><br>Another way to do the same thing is to make a surface cell selection,<br>
then open the selection inspector. In that window you can see the ids<br>of the cells you've selected, delete them from the selection, and add<br>new ones manually.<br><br>cheers,<br>Dave<br><div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
