    How to remove all cells containing "page" (or anything) in mac excel?

    Hi all,

    I have a large set of data and I need to delete all the cells that contains "page". I know you can do that in windows, but do any of you know how to do it in Mac?

    Thank you!

    Do you not have a Replace All function in Excel for MAC?

    That's the Find bit ... if you click on "Replace", presumably you get an option to enter a replacement value? If you leave that blank, and click on Replace All, it will replace all occurrences of "page" with nothing ... that is, "delete" it.

    That's how it works on Windows. I can't imagine it being any different

    I never thought of that, yes, they can replace to nothing. Thank you!
