Best Answer
By using the SHIFT and/or the CTRL keys you can select non-contiguous ranges. However, if you select a cell or area by mistake, there is no built in way to remove that from the selection without losing the entire selection and having to start over. This page describes to VBA procedures, UnSelectActiveCell and UnSelectCurrentArea that will remove the Active Cell or the Area containing the Active Cell from the current selection. All other cells in the Selection will remain selected.
Your best bet would be to add these to your Personal Macro workbook so that they are available to all open workbooks in Excel.
This procedure will remove the Active Cell from the Selection.
