Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Run this
VBA Code:
Sub DelStrikethroughText()
    Dim xRg As Range, xCell As Range
    Dim xStr As String
    Dim I As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please select range:", Selection.Address, , , , , 8)
    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Application.ScreenUpdating = Fase
        For Each xCell In xRg
            If IsNumeric(xCell.Value) And xCell.Font.Strikethrough Then
                xCell.Value = ""
            ElseIf Not IsNumeric(xCell.Value) Then
                For I = 1 To Len(xCell)
                    With xCell.Characters(I, 1)
                        If Not .Font.Strikethrough Then
                            xStr = xStr & .Text
                        End If
                    End With
                Next
                xCell.Value = xStr
                xStr = ""
            End If
        Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Another option if this is a once off is to just do a findreplace
