Basics > Deleting data

There are several ways to delete data from a document:

▪Deleting the content of a cell

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

▪Deleting parts of the cell content

To delete only part of the cell content, double-click on the cell. Alternatively, you can select the cell and press the F2 key. You can now edit the cell content, for example, delete parts of it using the Del key or the Backspace keyÕ.

▪Deleting the contents of multiple cells

To delete the contents of multiple cells at once, select them before pressing the Del key. For information on selecting cells, see Selecting cells and cell content.
