What this tool does

Remove specific spreadsheet rows by number or range, preview the remaining data, and save the result as a new XLSX file.

A row specification such as 3,5,8-12 is validated, matched against one-based worksheet row numbers, and excluded from the new sheet.

Rows are numbered exactly as shown in Excel, including the header row. Deleting rows can invalidate formulas that depend on the original layout.

FAQ

How do I delete several nonadjacent Excel rows?

Enter comma-separated row numbers such as 3,7,12.

Can I delete a continuous row range?

Yes. Use an inclusive range such as 8-15.

Does row 1 mean the spreadsheet header?

Row numbers match the visible worksheet, so row 1 is the first row whether or not it contains headers.

What happens to formulas after rows are deleted?

The tool rewrites parsed data and formulas, but complex references may not adjust exactly as Excel would. Review the output.

Can I undo the deletion?

The original file is not changed. Keep it and rerun with a different row list if needed.
