Default how can I clear a formula?

I have a column that appears to have a formula in it. It is appears to
calculate figures for me automatically. How can I clear the formula out?

You use the word "appears" twice.

Is a cell with a formula nowhere to be found?

If it can be found, select the cell with the formula and hit the "delete"
button.

I would look for a formula in any cell that gives me a total of other cells.

If a formula cannot be found, perhaps some sheet event code?

Right-click on the sheet tab and have a look.

You are right. In my haste, I included the word "appears" twice, sorry about
that.

Can you please tell me how I can keep the figure but remove the formula?
