Default Deleting numerical values within a cell

Ron - it looks like it should work but I keep getting "no cells found" - The
cells I am looking for look like xxxxxxxxx, 131414265, xxxxxxxx - I want to
simply delete the numbers. thanks

Try this:

Select the range of cells to be impacted
Press the [F5] key........a shortcut for <edit<go to
Click [Special]
Select: Formulas.....Uncheck: Text
Click [OK]

That will select all of the numeric values (and errors)
Press the [Delete] key to erase the contents of the selected cells

Is that something you can work with?
