Identify cells based on format
 

Hello there,

In several occassions I've tried unsuccessfully to identify specific cells
based on their contents. In this particular case I'm trying to identify (and
delete) the cells of a column that contain numbers instead of text. I tried
using the format property but I didn't get too far. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Depends on what you mean by number. You can test the contents with
IsNumeric which will have a true result for any kind of number such as -1.7.
If you want to limit the test to something more specific such as integers,
look at the "like" function.

Hi

Maybe this ?

Sub DeleteNumbers()
For Each cell In Columns("A").Cells
If IsNumeric(cell) = True Then
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next
End Sub

Thanks for the help. Something still doesn't work. When I debug the code I
get an error message stating that cell is a variable not defined. This is the
code I've got:

By the way, I need to delete the whole row, not only the cell. Thanks!!

Sub Macro1()

Dim X, Y As Integer

Y = 0
While Y <= 500
For Each cell In Columns("A").Cells
If IsNumeric(cell) = False Then
X = cell.Row
Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows(X).Delete
Else
cell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Next
Y = Y + 1
Wend

End Sub

Hi

Try this:

Sub Macro2()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim RowCount As Long
Const TargetColumn As String = "A"

RowCount = Columns(TargetColumn).Rows.Count
LastRow = Cells(RowCount, TargetColumn).End(xlUp).Row
For r = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If IsNumeric(Cells(r, TargetColumn)) = False Then
Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
