Default check a row ignore blank cells print only those with text

Thanks Dom_Ciccone

Maybe I should re-phrase my query.
in a particular column I have 30 or cells which may or may not have a job no
eg :

input output
blank, 45678
blank, 12345
45678, 34567
blank,
12345,
blank,
34567
etc.

i.e. I want to ignore the blank cells,but paste the data from cells which DO
contain a number to a cell on another column, filling the column so that it
contains ONLY cells with a number but I want this to happen 'automatically'
as soon as any relevant data (a number in this case) is entered into a
currently blank cell. it is not something I want to have to run each time I
add new data.

unfortunately the format of my 'example' didn't translate on this website
very well.

If you don't wish to use filters and copy/pastes the simplest method is to
use a macro to do this:

Sub movedata()
numrows = ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
ActiveSheet.Range("B1").Select
For myloop = 1 To numrows
If Cells(myloop, 1).Value < "" Then
ActiveCell.Value = Cells(myloop, 1).Value
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Next myloop
End Sub

I want to check down a column of cells, some of which may be blank, I want to
gnore the blank ones and print only the contents (in another cell) those with
a number in them.

eg
A B
1 1234
2 1234
3

in the example above I want to ignore A1 & A3 but print the result of A2 to
B1
