Community Tip - When posting, your subject should be specific and summarize your question. Here are some additional tips on asking a great question. X
Use case: Depending on inputs of the excel component the amount of row will change.
Issue: if the number of rows becomes lower, the previous value over the last row stays as it was. A mismatch between updated row at the top and obsolete one at the bottom happens.
Analysis: It looks like the input parameters write values at given range into an existing excel object. All cells around are not touched. It looks like this excel object is embedded in the Mathcad file and saved with it. I haven't found any post in the Mathcad help or community concerning this topic.
Workarounds:
Request: Is there a better alternative using Mathcad functions to clear/reset all the content of the excel component to ensure that no trailing rows values or cell-formatting are left?

Your issue with the Excel component in Mathcad Prime is indeed a common challenge when dealing with dynamic data ranges. When the number of rows in your Excel component changes, especially when it decreases, Mathcad doesn't automatically clear the obsolete data that lies beyond your new data range. This can lead to incorrect calculations or data inconsistencies within your Mathcad file.
Based on the information provided and typical functionalities available in Mathcad Prime, there isn't a direct, built-in function in Mathcad Prime that allows for dynamically clearing unused cells in an Excel component as you've described. However, considering your problem and typical capabilities of Mathcad, here are a few alternative strategies you might explore:
Unfortunately, without a built-in feature to dynamically clear unused cells in an Excel component, these workarounds involve some level of manual intervention or external preprocessing. The best solution might depend on your specific use case, the complexity of your Mathcad sheets, and how frequently your data changes.
