Does this do it
Sub FormatData()
Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
iLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If Not IsNumeric(Cells(i, "A").Value) Then
Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next i
End Sub

first off thanks you guys for taking the time to help. i have got
alot of
info from the forums. ok here is my latest adventure! i am trying
to
create a
list of phone numbers for my boss. he asked me to pull out every
phone
number
on his phone bills and make a list using excel. now his bills are
in PDF
formatt and i have purchased a PDF to excel converter and it works
great,
my
issue is once im in excel i want to extract or copy all the phone
numbers,
is
that possible? so far ive just been able to delete alot of
unwanted text
and
contect that carries over from the PDF and narrow it down to only
2 colums
(A
and B) but there is still a few things i dont need like text that
reads
"incomig" ect and ive been deleting row by row and sometimes there
are
1200+
rows and thats just taking way to much time. im thinking there has
to be a
way that once i have all the data in excel i can just copy all the
phone
numbers in the doc? im using office pro 03, can someone help this
girl
out?
thanks
