Have you ever wondered how to remove underlines in Google Sheets? If you’re familiar with Google Docs, you probably know that you can simply click on the underline icon in the toolbar to add or remove underlines from selected text.
However, this feature is not available in Google Sheets. This is because Google Docs is primarily used for text, while Google Sheets is mainly used for numbers.
But don’t worry, there is still a way to remove underlines in Google Sheets. It’s just not as straightforward as in Google Docs. In this article, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of removing underlines in Google Sheets.
How to Remove Underlines in Google Sheets
To remove underlines in Google Sheets, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Select the Text or Number
The first step is to select the text or number in a cell that you want to remove the underline from. Simply use your mouse to click and highlight the desired content. If you want to select all the underlined content in the entire sheet, you can press Ctrl + A.
Step 2: Click on the “Format” Menu
After selecting the content, click on the “Format” option in the menu.
Step 3: Go to Text > Underline
Now you will see a drop-down menu with a list of options. Among the options, select “Text” and then choose the “Underline” option from the sub-menu. This will remove the underline from the selected content. If the underline persists, it means that another type of formatting is applied to the text. In that case, go to Format > Clear Formatting.
Step 4: Keyboard Shortcut to Underline in Google Sheets
There is also a keyboard shortcut that you can use to save time. Simply select the text you want to underline or remove the underline from, and then press Ctrl + U on a Windows system or Cmd + U on a Mac.
Conclusion
In conclusion, removing underlines in Google Sheets is slightly different compared to Google Docs because there is no dedicated underline icon in the toolbar. However, you can easily remove underlines by following these steps:
- Select the text or number from which you want to remove the underline.
- Click on the “Format” menu.
- Go to “Text” and select “Underline” from the sub-menu.
- If the underline persists, go to “Format” and choose “Clear Formatting” to remove any other applied formatting from the text.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + U (Windows) or Cmd + U (Mac) to quickly remove underlines.
