Delete cells containing specific data?

[Guest]

How can you delete all cells containing specific data in a huge spreadsheet?
For example, delete all cells containing the word "hotfix." Kind of like
search & replace, but that function can't delete cells that contain certain
text. Thanks for any help!

If you mean Delete the CONTENTS of the cell, then you can use Find and Replace
with wild cards:

Edit/Replace
Find what: *hotfix*
Replace with: <leave blank>

<Replace All>

If you actually want to <delete> the cell, you'll have to use a VBA routine and
also decide which way to move the remaining cells.
