Deletion tools

When working in Excel, there are often situations where you need to delete specific elements: characters, words, duplicates, cells, or even formulas. Unfortunately, Excel alone is not always flexible enough — many of these tasks require complicated formulas, macros, or manual effort. That’s where !SEMTools makes a real difference.

With its wide range of dedicated delete functions, you can clean and refine your data in just a few clicks. Before applying deletion, you can use the FIND and EXTRACT groups to preview which elements will be affected — so you always stay in full control.

Delete Characters

Need to remove all numbers, punctuation marks, or other unwanted symbols? Want to delete a certain number of characters from the beginning or end of each cell? With !SEMTools, you can do all of this instantly, without tricky formulas. Learn more about character deletion tools.

Delete Words

Excel does not natively recognize words as separate entities, but !SEMTools does. Whether it’s a single word or an entire list, you can clean up your strings without breaking the rest of the text. This is especially useful for processing keywords, tags, or textual datasets. Explore word deletion options.

Delete Cells by Condition

!SEMTools offers more than a dozen ready-to-use conditions for deleting cells. Instead of building complex formulas, just choose the rule you need and clear out irrelevant data effortlessly. See cell deletion on conditions.

Delete Ranges

Going beyond cells, !SEMTools includes macros for deleting entire rows or columns based on conditions. For example, you can remove rows with blank cells or delete empty columns across your dataset in one go. Learn about range deletion.

Delete Duplicates

Deleting duplicates in Excel is not always straightforward. The built-in tool only removes completely identical rows, so even an extra space prevents a match. Such cases are called implicit duplicates, and !SEMTools has specialized functions to detect and remove them. You can even delete duplicates without removing entire rows or cells — saving valuable data while still keeping your dataset clean.

Delete Formulas

Normally, to remove formulas you need to copy cells and paste them back as values — a two-step process. With large, complex formulas across multiple sheets, this quickly becomes inefficient. !SEMTools allows you to delete formulas from an entire worksheet or workbook with a single click, while keeping the values intact.
