Apart from that, you can also use the following keys to get the same thing done.

  • Backspace: Even though backspace is not used for clearing the content, but it works almost same. When you select a cell and press the backspace it clears the content from the cell and edit it.
  • Alt ➜ H ➜ E ➜ A: This keyboard shortcut activates the “Clear Content” option from the Home Tab.
