Editing and Deleting Existing Data
You can always replace a cell’s contents with new data. This comes in handy when you need to correct typing errors or when a cell contains the wrong data. You can also easily erase the contents of a cell by using the Delete key. Erasing a cell is useful when you change your mind about the contents after you enter the data in the cell.
