Based on what you said and my trying it out in Excel, I'm not getting the big difference. In Excel & Numbers you have to select the cells to be cleared. In Excel & Numbers you click or use the menu system or a keyboard shortcut or the right-click contextual menu to clear the selected cells. What is the difference other than Excel has a few additional choices for what to clear and it has a toolbar icon (which takes two clicks to use, one to click the button and one to choose from a list of how to clear the cells)?
Numbers is limited on what icons can be on the toolbar so you cannot add a "Clear" button. But right-click and choosing "Clear All" from the contextual menu is no more steps than clicking on Excel's "Clear" button then choosing which method to clear the cells.
On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click the arrow next to the Clear button
, and then do one of the following:
It is included in the OS. If you give me an example of a cell you want to clear (document name, sheet name, table name, cell address) I can get you started.
Applescript differs from Macros in the following ways:
If you can give me your email adress then i can send you the spread sheet if you want to look at it.
Depending on what you mean by "clear", either
1. Select them, press Delete
or
2. Select them, right click, Clear All. Clear All is also in the Edit menu. You could make a keyboard shortcut for Clear All so you don't have to right click or choose it from the menu, you would use your keyboard shortcut.
Neither is "one click" because you first have to select the cells.
I used spread sheet in excell where there is an icon that i can click on it and specific cells will be cleared. I think this might be in macros not sure. I have to eneter data into a very large spread sheet. The data needs to be cleared every week add new data for the new week.
I don't think I need it, I don't have access to my email right now anyway. Just give me example of a cell to clear so I can write a little script to clear that one cell. You would be able to follow the same format to add other cells to the script. One thing I do need to know is if it is just one table that needs to be cleared or if there are multiple tables and, if so, are they all on the same sheet. Maybe if you post a screenshot of part of you spreadsheet, including the sidebar on the left that lists the sheets and tables.

Things in white area that needs to be cleared.
Thanks
That is my problem. I want to do this one click with out selecting every time. In excell we can do this.
Tell me how you do it in Excel so I can try it out in Excel to see what you're asking about. Include the entire process. I assume at some point you have to tell Excel which cells are to be cleared.
Thanks for trying to help me.
Maybe, as you said, it is a macro. Numbers does not have macros but Apple does have Applescript. Not quite the same thing and not as convenient.
Thank you so much for your tiime and support. How can I get Applescript?
