To clear all contents, formats, and comments that are contained in the selected cells, click Clear All. To clear only the formats that are applied to the selected cells, click Clear Formats. To clear only the contents in the selected cells, leaving any formats and comments in place, click Clear Contents.
Select all the cells in the table, click Clear and pick Clear All. Tip: You can also select the table and press Delete.
Type =CLEAN( in a cell and provide a text as an argument for using this function. Remember, it removes the non-printable character. For example, you can employ the Excel CLEAN function to remove frequent low-level computer code that appears at the beginning and the end of the data files and cannot be printed.
Text. Clean is a Power Query M function that removes control characters from a text value. The function returns a text value with all control characters removed.
The CLEAN function accepts a text string and returns text that has been cleaned of line breaks and other non-printable characters. You can use CLEAN to strip non-printing characters and strip line breaks from text. For example, to clean text in cell A1: =CLEAN(A1) // clean text in A1.
TRIM Function Using the TRIM function can eliminate these excessive blank spaces. Select the data cells with excessive blank spaces and tab spaces. Now, select a new cell adjacent to the first cell. Apply the TRIM() function and drag the cell as shown below.
Important: The CLEAN function was designed to remove the first 32 nonprinting characters in the 7-bit ASCII code (values 0 through 31) from text. In the Unicode character set, there are additional nonprinting characters (values 127, 129, 141, 143, 144, and 157).
The basics of cleaning your data Insert a new column (B) next to the original column (A) that needs cleaning. Add a formula that will transform the data at the top of the new column (B). Fill down the formula in the new column (B). Select the new column (B), copy it, and then paste as values into the new column (B).
