Thumbs up Answer: Delete all negative numbers leaving only positive numbers

Hi Basil,

I can definitely help you with that! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to delete all negative numbers in a column using a formula:
  1. Select the cell where you want to display the positive numbers.
  2. Type the following formula:
    Code:
    =IF(A1<0,"",A1)
  3. Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the first cell in the column that contains the numbers you want to filter.
  4. Press Enter.
  5. Copy the formula down to the rest of the cells in the column by dragging the fill handle (the small square at the bottom right corner of the cell) down to the last cell.
  6. The formula will display the positive numbers in the selected cell and leave the negative numbers blank.
  7. Select the column that contains the original list of numbers.
  8. Press Ctrl + C to copy the column.
  9. Right-click on the selected cell where the positive numbers are displayed.
  10. Click on "Paste Special".
  11. In the "Paste Special" dialog box, select "Values" and click "OK".
  12. This will paste only the positive numbers into the selected cell.

That's it! You now have a column with only positive numbers. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
