    how to delete contents of cells having specific data

    Dear friends,
    I am working on a spreadsheet having a variety of data. In some of the cells
    spread across the sheet,I have a specific data ,say XYZ with comments
    attached to the cells. I would like to delete the contents of these cells
    along with the comments.
    How could I do that.
    Thanking you all.
    Steve

    There is no way to do this easily. It could be done with code. If you
    didn't have comments, you could use conditional formatting to turn the cell
    value white so it couldn't be seen. It would print though!

    If you wish to explore the code route, try posting in the programming group

    Autofilter -> Custom -> Contains "XYZ"

    Select those you want to delete F5 -> Special -> Visible cells only -> Delete
