It was not removed, since it was never part of Excel.

I agree, that would be a handy feature. Not sure why it was removed.

If you're not aware of it, you can hit SHIFT-F8 to toggle "Add to
Selection"
on/off. This allows you to select multiple cells without holding down any
keys. That doesn't solve the problem, but could help to avoid
accidentally
clicking on a wrong cell and having to start over.

I have always used 2000 until I upgraded to 2007. Why can I not deselect
non-adjacent cells? Was it to difficult for the fellows at Microsoft to
program or was it not a popular function?

I don't remember this ever being possible in Excel. What version were
you
using before 2007? Here's a quote that can be found in both Excel 2003
and
2007 Help Files, relating to selecting non-adjacent cells:

"[Note] You cannot cancel the selection of a cell or range of cells in
a
nonadjacent selection without canceling the entire selection."
