To remove table formatting in Excel, follow these steps:
-
Select the Table: Click anywhere inside the table that you want to remove formatting from. This action will activate the Table Tools tab on the Excel ribbon.
-
Go to the Table Tools Tab: Once the table is selected, navigate to the Table Tools contextual tab at the top of the Excel window. This tab appears only when you have a table selected.
-
Convert to Range: Within the Table Tools tab, locate the “Design” tab. In the Design tab, you'll see various options for modifying the table. Look for the “Tools” group.
-
Click on Convert to Range: In the “Tools” group, you'll find an option named “Convert to Range”. Click on this option. Excel will prompt you with a confirmation dialog box asking if you're sure you want to convert the table to a normal range. Click “Yes” or “OK” to confirm.
-
Confirm the Conversion: After confirming the conversion, Excel will remove the table formatting while retaining the data and formulas. Your table will now appear as a regular range of cells without any special formatting or features.
