Unfortunately this gives as a result only 1 and *2 according to the
list I provided. I made a mix between your answers. I ended up with
this macro:


Sub test_number_and_a()


mc = 2
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
* * x = Cells(i, mc)
* * If Right(x, 1) < "a" And Not (IsNumber(x)) Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i


End Sub


Unfortunately, I have a compiling error on Not (IsNumber(x)) . Any
idea?


Thanks, T2net

Given your example
Sub leavenumberandA()
mc = 1
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
x = Cells(i, mc)
If Len(x) 1 And Right(x, 1) < "a" Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub

I think you need to give some further examples showing some which
would fail your criteria, as it looks to me as if they would all pass.

Hello,


I have a list in column which may look like


1
2
3a
3b
3g
56
67a
67c


I would like to keep only the rows which contains numbers or numbers +
a character.


Any idea?


Thanks, T2net

Oops sorry I meant the "a" character.
I want to keep the rows with numbers (like 1,2, 56) and those with
"a" (3a, 67a) and not the others

Hi!

Tried...better: no compiling error! However, it does not take the "a"
character condition into account, ie Result column is 1,2, 56.- Hide quoted text -

It seems some space characters could be on the right side of my column
elements, that is why it seems to be not working.

Thanks for all your very useful and pertinent inputs. Now, I just need
to add a trim condition for this space character problem I guess!
