Hello,

I am stuck and would love some help.

I have two Columns in Excel J and K. The two Columns contain numbers from 1 to 53. I would like to delete any cell containing the number 1 in columns J and K automatically. Is there an easy way to do this without a Marco? If not could someone help me out?

Thanks,

Kareem

You want to delete the cell or clear the cell or delete the row ? Also when you say containing, you mean any were in the cell like 213 or just if it is 1

Sorry, I meant clear the cell contents.

And only if the number is 1 would the cells clear

Greatly appreciated

Then you can do this.

1. Apply filter.
2. Filter for 1 in the column you desire.
3. Select all the visible cells in that column with data (which should be 1).
4. Right Click and choose Choose clear content

The problem with that is I would like to graph the data and my data is constantly changing. I would have to clear the contents 5 - 6 times a day. Is there a way where it would be done automatically?

Not without macro

This is the best I can think of without macro would be the following solution

Lets say the column that you want to address is C. What you can do is that have another column with a formula there as


=IF(C1=1, "",C1) and drag this formula down to the last row of data

Now refer to this new column instead of original C column, in your graph or where ever you wanted to use without "1"
