How can I remove table formatting from spreadsheet?

Removing table formatting from an Excel spreadsheet

1. Select the entire table that you want to remove the formatting from. You can do this by clicking on any cell within the table and then pressing "Ctrl + A" on your keyboard.
2. Once the table is selected, go to the Table Tools tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
3. Click on the Design tab within the Table Tools tab.
4. In the Table Styles section, click on the drop-down arrow next to "More" to expand the options.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select "Clear".
6. This will remove all formatting from the table, including any colors, borders, and shading.
7. If you want to keep the data in the table but remove the table structure, go to the Table Tools tab again and click on "Convert to Range" in the Tools section.
8. This will convert the table back to a regular range of cells, and you can then format the data as needed.

That's it! Your table formatting has been removed, and you can now work with the data in a regular range of cells.

From when you paste in something from a HTML page?

Select the cells in Excel, click the Eraser's drop down list in Editing and
choose Clear all formatting. Default keys: Alt+H + E + F.

this does not concern any HTML page. I'm just asking how to delte a table
format once I have created one. What you say to do only clears the table
"style" from my worksheet, but it does not remove the table itself. In other
words, there are still drop-down buttons on the row headings. Other than
that, it seems to clear most of the table features. Thx.

You can remove table formatting form the toolbar.
