Hi,

English Excel XP I've got expands an ordinal numbers list when it is in
English. How can I make it expand an ordinal numbers list in Greek which is
like 1os, 2os, 3os...nos?

It will not work completely the same...
(MS is still somewhat USenglish focused.. :(


But.. as an intermediate solution.
create the list manually..
then import in as a custom list in
Tools/Options/Custom Lists

Yes... I've tried already with custom Lists, but how much millions of
numbers can I add?... (I'm joking)

I thought that could be something more "mathematic". Something like (If I
may express it by words):
If the cell contains a number followed by "os" (like "1os" which means 1st
in my language) then fill the next cell with [Cell's number]+1 and keep "os"
too.

What about that (if it makes any sense)?

if tina onassis (or what's her name) buys Microsoft.. then maybe :)

else if you use a custom number format but leave the value in the cell
numeric then it will work (if 1st,2nd,3rd is all 1os,2os in Greek!
