Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
What do you mean by 'eliminate' landlines?
Do you mean you want to clear the contents of the corresponding cell if the type is LANDLINE e.g. clear Phone1 if Phone1 TYPE = Landline.
Or perhaps you want to delete the entire row?

If you just want to clear the contents the simplest would be to use a formula adjacent to your table as shown below, then copy the formula range and paste values over the top of the numbers. So in the example below, copy the range M2:O10 and then Paste Special->Values to F2.
