Clearing Data

You can clear data from databases for which you have Write permissions.

You can clear all data values, or, for block storage databases, you can clear only calculated data blocks or only upper-level data blocks. Cells for which data is cleared are set to #MISSING.

You can also clear data automatically, as part of a data load. See Clearing Data Values Before Loading Data.
