You can remove fill color from cells in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets by selecting the cells and then choosing the "No Fill" option. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps to Remove Fill Color:
-
Select the Cells: Click and drag your mouse to select the cell(s), range(s), row(s), or column(s) containing the fill color you want to remove.
-
Navigate to the Fill Color Option:
-
In Microsoft Excel: Go to the "Home" tab. In the "Font" group, you'll see a "Fill Color" button (it looks like a paint bucket).
-
In Google Sheets: Go to the "Format" tab, then select "Fill color" (it also looks like a paint bucket on the toolbar).
-
-
Choose "No Fill":
- Click the arrow next to the "Fill Color" button.
- Select the "No Fill" option from the dropdown menu. The fill color will be removed from the selected cells.
Alternative Method (Excel):
- Select Cells: As above, select the cells with the fill color.
- Clear Formats: On the "Home" tab, in the "Editing" group, click the "Clear" dropdown. Select "Clear Formats". This will remove all formatting from the cells, including the fill color. Be aware that this will also remove other formatting like font styles, borders, etc.
Example:
Let's say you have cells A1 through C5 filled with a yellow background. To remove the yellow fill:
- Select cells A1:C5.
- Go to the "Home" tab (Excel) or "Format" tab (Google Sheets).
- Click the arrow next to the Fill Color button.
- Choose "No Fill". The yellow background will disappear.
