This is easy enough to do. In memoQ, you can choose at the time of import any ranges you wish to translate. Thus, you do not need to hide the parts you do not want, which would be the other workaround, although a bit riskier since your customer might have already hidden things that you would unhide yourself when unhiding the non-translatable bits.
To select the desired ranges in memoQ (you need to have Excel installed):
1. In your project, use Import with options (instead of simply Import). Choose your file and click OK.
2. In the Document import options dialog box, choose the link "Change filter and configuration".
3. You should now see the Document import settings tabbed dialog box. In the main tab, you will see different checkboxed about items from your Excel file you can include or leave out. Choose the link "Select ranges in Excel". Your Excel file opens, with a little panel called "Mark selected ranges".
4. In Excel, use the usual method to select the translatable ranges one by one (or several ranges at a time by clicking Ctrl as you select different ranges) and click "Add ranges" for each translatable range/group of ranges. The selected ranges are now shown with a blue highlight.
5. When you are done selecting the parts you want, click Finish. You will land in the Document import settings dialog again, where you can see the ranges you have selected.
Click OK until your document is imported. This should be it! I hope this helps.
Doesn't look that easy to me...
Can you just hide the columns you don't need?
