An old mainframe based spreadsheet program called Foresight had a function
called "Clear all" which cleared all input values or constants from an entire
spreadsheet without affecting any cells containing formulas, functions, etc.
This allowed for quick, safe resetting of pro-forma type spreadsheets.
Is there a way to accomplish this in Excel? If not there should be.

Goto: Edit>Go To>Special>Constants>OK. This will select all constrants and
all you need to do is tap delete.

Thanks for that Mike. I didn't know that was there! It's a useful little
tool for identifying types of information in cells.
