I am trying to delete rows in my spreadsheet based upon
the value that appears in column A. I would like to
delete the row only if it is NON numeric.

Can this be done ?

Thanks in advance.
Steve

Hi Steve

Try this

Sub Example1()
Dim Firstrow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long

With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

Firstrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells(1).Row
Lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + Firstrow - 1
With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
For Lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1
If IsError(.Cells(Lrow, "A").Value) Then
'Do nothing, This avoid a error if there is a error in the cell

ElseIf Not IsNumeric(.Cells(Lrow, "A").Value) Then .Rows(Lrow).Delete

End If
Next
End With
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub
