Delete a Datasheet from a Data File

Any time that you wish to delete an entire datasheet or page of data from the data file currently displayed in the Editor, follow these steps:

1. Click on the tab of the datasheet that you wish to remove, to make it active.
   
2. Right-click in the body of the data listing and select the Delete Data Page option. Or, you can select the Delete Data Page command from the Data menu.

   LogPlot will ask you to confirm this operation:

   

3. Click on Yes if you wish to proceed with the page deletion, or click on No to cancel the page deletion.

   If you confirmed the operation, the program will remove the entire data tab from the display.

Notes

! This command deletes all of the data in the active datasheet, and the datasheet itself. If you wish to delete some of the data from within a datasheet, simply highlight the text to be removed and press the Delete key on your keyboard. Or, in a multi-column datasheet, use the Data | Delete a Column option.

If you made a mistake, do not save the data file. Instead, use the File | Open command to re-open the same data file, answering NO to the prompt that asks whether you wish to save the current changes. Be warned, however, that any other editing changes you had made since the last time you saved the file will also be lost.
