Basics > Deleting data

There are several ways to delete data from a document:

▪Deleting the content of a cell

To delete the entire contents of a cell, navigate to that cell and then press the Del key on the keyboard (or the ribbon command Home | group Edit | Cut).

▪Deleting only parts of the cell content

To delete only a part of the contents of a cell, double-click on the cell. Alternatively, you can select the cell and press the F2 key. Now you can edit the cell content, for example, you can also delete parts of it by using the Del key or the Backspace key Õ.

▪Deleting the contents of multiple cells

To delete the contents of several cells at once, select them before pressing the Del key. How to select cells is described in the section Selecting cells and cell content.
