I know: I should plan better, but it happens to me now and then times that I want to remove the part of a decision formula to the left of an OR or AND.

When I do that, everything to the right also vanishes. Especially when the formula is complicated, that doesn’t make me happy, because there’s no way of copying or preserving the part that should remain.

So before removing anything I have to write down the whole formula and re-enter the part that I want to use.

I would like to be able to remove not only the right part of a formula, but also a part at the left or somewhere in between.
