Default how do I delete data in a cell without deleting formula?

after adding data to a formulatted cell on a worksheet, i save as, and then
use the previous worksheet and delete data to start another worksheet. when
doing this I also delete the formulas, which I don't want to do- go to
question.

First, copy the worksheet then on copied sheet hit F5SpecialConstants

Uncheck what you want to keep, like "text" for titles and OK

EditClearContents or just hit the delete key.

A cell contains either formula or data. It can't contain both.
