Actually, English is not my native language either, so I am afraid that I can not explain it quite well.

The idea is to change just one word in the text according to the selection.

That is what I needed. However, is there a way not to type "You must provide " and " beam" in the formula? Since the whole concept should be able to apply for any text. If I have 1000 sentences, I would like somehow to connect the selections with the word that are going to be changed. This way, I would not need to change 1000 formulas and incorporate part of the text in each of them.

Instead of putting "You must provide " and " beam" directly into the formula you can put the text you want in for example M4 and N4 and then use a formula like:

=$M4&" "&IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNTA(K:K)-1,"",INDEX($K$4:$L$8,ROWS($1:1),MATCH($B$3,$K$3:$L $3,0)))&" "&$N4&"."
