I do not have “strikethrough” available in my LibreOffice calc 6.3 - I used context menu - style - and then no strikethrough found. How can I get it (strikethrough)? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Method 1
- Select the text you want to strikethrough
-
Right click -> Character... -> Character -> Tab: FontEffects -> Dropdown: Strikethroughand select your desired strikethrough value. - Click
OK
Method 2 - The preferred one
A more elaborated way would include the creation of a Character Style (e.g. named StrikeThrough having the font effect defined into and assigning that character style to the selected text.
-
Styles -> Manage Styles--or–F11 - Select icon Character Styles (second icon beneath Styles)
-
Right Click -> Newon Default Style - Select Tab
Organizerand provide a name for the new character style (e.gStrikeThrough) - Select Tab
Font Effects -> Dropdown: Strikethroughand select your desired strikethrough value. - Click
OK
To apply: Select the text to be strikethrough and double click on the character style in the style manager.
Hope that helps.

Ooops - completely overread calc because biased to writer. Sorry … wrong answer; now confused why it helped anyway.
I used method 1 - and it works perfectly. Have not tried method 2.
Method 2 works! Can also right click & delete style if one saved it by mistake.To add the strike through (as it is a basic feature) to the top menu .Chapter 14 Customizing LibreOffice under the Heading Modifying existing toolbars
Make sure to select Tools,Customize,Toolbar & Libre Office Standard

Thanks so much! Worked like a charm.
Simpler Method: In the menu, go to View > Toolbars, and deselect ‘Formatting’. Now do the same and select ‘Text Formatting’. Strikethrough will now be an option on the toolbars
