About This Feature

Overview

Strikethrough adds a horizontal line to text in a cell so you can mark content as canceled, outdated, completed, or no longer in use. In WPS Spreadsheets on iOS, you can select a target cell and use the Strikethrough button under the Home tab to apply or remove this formatting.

Core capabilities include:

Apply strikethrough to selected cell text to show a status change.
Tap the same button again to remove the formatting.
Keep the original cell content intact while changing only the display style.

This feature is useful for to-do lists, inventory sheets, draft budgets, review tables, and other spreadsheet workflows where you want to preserve the original text while marking its status.
