Answer: When you select a cell with data (in this case, 120) in an Excel worksheet and press the delete key on your keyboard, the following holds true:
-
The Cell Value is Deleted: The content of the selected cell, which is the value 120 in this case, will be deleted from that cell. The cell will become empty.
-
Adjacent Cells Are Not Affected: Deleting the content of a cell does not affect the content of adjacent cells. Other cells in the worksheet will remain unchanged.
-
The Cell Formatting Remains: While the cell’s value is deleted, any formatting applied to the cell (such as font style, color, or cell borders) will usually remain intact.
-
Undo Functionality: You can typically use the “Undo” feature in Excel (usually by pressing Ctrl+Z) immediately after deleting the cell content to undo the deletion and restore the deleted value if needed.
In summary, pressing the delete key in Excel removes the value from the selected cell, but it does not affect other cells or the formatting of the selected cell.
