Excel Delete Cells
Delete Cells
Cells can be deleted by selecting them, and pressing the delete button.
Note: The delete function will not delete the formatting of the cell, just the value inside of it.
Let's have a look at three examples.
Example 1
![](delete.png)
Pressing the delete button:
![](delete_1.png)
Example 2
![](delete_2.png)
Pressing the delete button:
![](delete_3.png)
Example 3
With formatting:
![](delete_4.png)
Pressing the delete button:
![](delete_5.png)
Note that it only deletes the value in the cells, and not the formatting (the color).
Note: You will learn more about formatting, and how to style cells in a later chapter.
