Default Number format as condition for not deleting a line

Dear Friends,

I am having a problem with a particular macro I am working on. The
following macro is supposed to delete all rows that do not have a
number in column A. The user enters the number of rows to process,
then lets the macro do its job. Unfortately, I end up with all of the
rows being deleted.

I have checked my data on the test page and I have two rows that
contain numbers in column A. I have verified that these are numbers
by right-clicking over these cells and choosing cell-format - both are
listed as "number".

Here is the code that I have created . . .

Counter = InputBox("Enter the total number of rows to process")

Worksheets("sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Select
For i = 1 To Counter
If ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "Number" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Counter = Counter - 1
Else
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next i

Thank you for your help!

Mike
