Have you ever had the need to keep your formulas in a worksheet, but get rid of all the other data? For example, you might want to create a new sheet for the new tax year, containing exactly the same headers and formulas, but not the data from the previous tax year.
Here’s how:
- Select the rows and/or columns that contain the formulas. (Remember the quick way to select a range of cells?)
- On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Find & Select, and then click Go To Special. (Or press CTRL + G and click on the Special button.)
- In the Go To Special dialog box, click the Constants radio button.
- Click OK.
- Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
This will delete all the data, but leave the formulas, ready for next year’s tax year. (Thanks for the inspiration, Melissa.)
