Multilingual Excel file type doesn't apply filter based on hex-codes

Yamagata Europe

In the Excel file shown below, content must not be translated if the target cell features the background color shown:

Screenshot of an Excel file with cells in column B containing English text for software installation prompts, with a color picker dialog showing a custom color selection of light blue with hex code #C6EFCE.

If I understood correctly, the filter feature is designed to do just that:

Screenshot of a software interface with 'Edit Language' settings for Japanese, showing a 'Fill Color' filter option set to ignore cells with the hex color #C6EFCE during import.

However, all source content is imported, regardless of the background color or the action. When selecting "Lock", all content is imported without locking.

What am I missing?

Trados Studio 2022 - 17.0.3.11695; Multilingual.Excel.FileType 1.0.7.1

    I think you may be misunderstanding how this works.  Here's a quick video to explain... might be helpful for others too:
