Formatting is a great way to annotate an Excel spreadsheet. Whether you’ve added a comment to a certain cell to call attention, or bolded the line items most important to remember, your annotations can help you parse through a spreadsheet.

However, when the time comes when you need to share the spreadsheet with someone else who doesn’t need to see your annotations, for example, cleaning up your formatting could become a daunting task. Here are three ways to quickly remove formatting from your spreadsheet. Check out the video above and read the steps below to learn more.
