Sometimes when you're selecting multiple cells or ranges in Excel, you accidentally select one or more that you didn't intend. You can deselect any cells within the selected range with the Deselect Tool. Pressing the Ctrl key, you can click, or click-and-drag to deselect any cells or ranges within a selection. If you need to reselect any of those cells, continue holding the Ctrl key and reselect those cells (for Mac, use the Cmd key).
Note:This feature is only available in Excel for Window if you have Office 2019, or if you have aMicrosoft 365 subscription. If you are aMicrosoft 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office.
