Default Delete Words Not Numbers

I have a column with blanks, text, and numbers.

I want to delete the text and keep all numbers.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Select the column
F5Special
Constants
Uncheck all under Formulas except Text
OK

You can no delete the cells or complete rows

I think I'd add a column and put this in it

=ISTEXT(A1)

I'd then autofilter and delete the entries with TRUE.
