Remove a cell from a multiple selection

[Guest]

Hi everyone,
On an Excel worksheet, one can select multiple non contiguous cells with the
Shift an Ctrl keys. But is it possible to remove a selected cell from the
selection without having to redo the whole selection process?
Thanks.

Hi Norman,
That is a great and interesting answer and I thank you very much for it. But
does that mean that it is not possible to do that without VBA code?
In the Windows Explorer, when one clicks on a selected item, file or folder,
that item is deselected? Why is it not the same in Excel?
Thanks again

Hi Jac,

I am not aware of any manual method for deselecting cells from a
non-contiguous selection.

OK, thank you Norman. I appreciate your quick reply.
Have a good first day of summer.
