Default Filter out Non-Number (i.e. Text) Cells

Hi all,

Greetings,

Could you please tell me if it is possible to filter out a range by
removing that rows in which the cell value is a text and not number.

Say,

1. Autofilter on Range A1 to C10
2. Select Criteria on Column A (Cell A1) to show only those rows which
contain numbers.

I tried Autofilter but there was no such option (Select only Numbers).

Please help.

Regards

Ashish Sharma

Add helper column and enter =ISNUMBER(A1) - copy down
All numbers should return TRUE, Text = FALSE

Apply a custom filter of greater then equal 0 to filter out text

Insert a column next to the data you want to use the data filter and on the
new column key this:

=IsNumberyoursourcecolumn)
it should return true or false and then set the filter on this column and
select TRUE.
