You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Open the file in the folder shown above.

Create a formula which uses the LEFT function and string concatentation to calculate the range name for any category chosen - this should appear in the green cell:
