How to remove undesired cell styles (in home tab) from office 365 standard version of excel?

In Excel, the built-in cell styles cannot be deleted or removed directly. However, you can modify them to suit your needs or create custom styles. Here's how you can manage cell styles in Excel:

1. Modify Existing Styles:
• Go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
• In the "Styles" group, click on the "Cell Styles" dropdown arrow.
• Hover over the style you want to modify and right-click on it.
• Select "Modify" from the context menu.
• In the "Style" dialog box, make changes to the formatting options as needed.
• Click "OK" to apply the modifications.
2. Create Custom Styles:
• Go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
• In the "Styles" group, click on the "Cell Styles" dropdown arrow.
• Click on "New Cell Style" at the bottom of the dropdown list.
• In the "Style" dialog box, specify a name for your custom style.
• Set the desired formatting options for your custom style.
• Click "OK" to create the custom style.
3. Hide Unused Styles:
• Unfortunately, Excel doesn't provide a direct option to delete built-in styles. However, you can hide the unused styles to declutter the list:
• Go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
• In the "Styles" group, click on the "Cell Styles" dropdown arrow.
• At the bottom of the dropdown list, click on "Manage Styles".
• In the "Style Manager" dialog box, switch to the "Used" tab.
• Select the styles you want to hide by unchecking the checkboxes next to them.
• Click "OK" to hide the selected styles.
4. Using VBA:
• If you're comfortable with VBA, you can write a macro to delete or modify built-in styles. However, this approach requires some programming knowledge and should be used with caution.

Remember to always save your workbook before making significant changes to cell styles or using VBA. Additionally, it's a good practice to create a backup of your workbook in case anything goes wrong during the modification process. The text and steps were edited with the help of AI.
