You would not be able to do that with a formula - you would need some vba code. If that is acceptable, please advise if A1 is to be deleted when anything is entered into B1, or only if some particular entry (what?) is made in B1.

Hi
thanks for reply
A1 should be deleted when anything is entered into B1.
VB is OK

Thanks
