Delete row if cell in column "E" has 1 or more alpha characters
 

I'm trying to delete rows of data after row 4 if the cell in column "E" has
any alpha characters in it at all. If the cell in column "E" is all numeric
then no action is taken on that row. Thoughts??

Delete row if cell in column "E" has 1 or more alpha character
 

This is probably OK with the OP but it does delete rows where the corr. col E
cell contains a string with only numbers. For example, it deletes a row with
'5 in the corresponding col. E cell.

Assuming you are running this code in the ActiveSheet (so that the Range is
referenced correctly), then this statement should do what you want...

Range("E5:E" & Rows.Count).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, _
xlTextValues).EntireRow.Delete

You can put it into a macro or execute it from the Immediate window.

Good point! I had forgotten about that.

Try this:

Sub DeleteNonNumericRows()
LastRow = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For r = LastRow To 4 Step -1
If Not IsNumeric(Cells(r, "E")) Then
Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

Hopes this helps.
