Cut 
Use
This function lets you move all the data in the selected range to the clipboard. When you do that, the system clears the selected cells.
You can select any of the following:
An entire value column
A block within a value column
A block of value cells within a row
You can select an entire column by clicking on the column header. To select a block, use the Select block function. You can also select areas by positioning the cursor. The system interprets the cursor position as follows:
Where is the cursor? |
What is selected? |
in a lead column (not a blank row) |
the row where the cursor is positioned |
on a data cell (not a blank row) |
the cell where the cursor is positioned |
any other position |
nothing |
Note
If you have explicitly selected a block or entire column, the system ignores the cursor position.
Prerequisites
The selected area may not contain any attribute cells (such as distribution keys), since these cannot be cleared.
