INTRODUCTION
As you work with worksheets, you might find that data needs to be eliminated to keep the worksheet up-to-date. Or you might accidentally add an extraneous cell of data in a row or column. To avoid typing all your data again, you can delete extraneous cells and shift other cells to their correct locations.
TIP
#REF! Error
If the #REF! error appears after you delete a cell, it means you deleted a cell or cells that contained data your worksheet needs to calculate a formula. To resolve the problem, undo the change; the task "Undoing and Redoing Changes" later in this part tells you how.
