How to clear contents of a row while retaining formulas in certain cells used for the columns.

Copper Contributor

Having difficulty removing the contents(numbers) in a row but I want to retain the formulas used (established) for certain columns made on the spreadsheet to be used later for a new entry to replace the old numbers. Not all of the columns on my spreadsheet have formulas being used. When I clear contents of a the row it clears the formulas also. Want to retain formulas used.

Select the range from which you want to clear the constant values but keep the formulas.

Press F5 or Ctrl+G to activate the Go To dialog.

Click Special...

In the Go To Special dialog, select Constants, then click OK.

As a result, only cells containing constant values will be selected.

Press Delete to clear the selected cells.
