What is how to strikethrough in excel?

To strikethrough text in Excel, you can use a few methods:

1. Using the Format Cells dialog box:

   • Select the cell(s) you want to format.
   • Right-click and choose "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Format%20Cells">Format Cells</a>".
   • In the Format Cells dialog box, go to the "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Font">Font</a>" tab.
   • Under "Effects," check the "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Strikethrough">Strikethrough</a>" box.
   • Click "OK".

2. Using the Ribbon:

   • Select the cell(s) you want to format.
   • Go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
   • In the "Font" group, look for a small arrow in the bottom-right corner. This opens the "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Format%20Cells">Format Cells</a>" dialog box directly to the Font tab, and follow the steps above.
   • Some versions of Excel might have a more direct way to access font settings in the ribbon.

3. Using a Keyboard Shortcut (sometimes):

   • While not a universal shortcut, Ctrl + 5 might apply strikethrough formatting. This depends on your Excel version and keyboard settings. Select the cell(s) you want to affect first.

4. Using Conditional Formatting (for automatic strikethrough):

   • If you want to strikethrough text based on a condition (e.g., if a cell in another column contains a specific value), you can use Conditional Formatting.
   • Select the cell(s) you want to format.
   • Go to "Home" tab -> "Conditional Formatting" -> "New Rule".
   • Choose "Use a formula to determine which cells to format".
   • Enter a formula (e.g., =A1="Completed" where "Completed" is the condition and A1 is the related cell).
   • Click "Format" and then the "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Font">Font</a>" tab.
   • Check the "<a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Strikethrough">Strikethrough</a>" box.
   • Click "OK" twice.
