i have Column E filled with numbers, formulas and text. I would like to write a macro to filter out the cells with text contents. The text contents do not have any fixed format. 

Pls advice.

Hi Mayek,

The following code will hide rows if the value in column E is neither number nor formula:
Sub FilterOutText()
Dim lRow As Integer

lRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For Each cell In Range("A2:A" & lRow)
    If IsNumeric(cell) = False And cell.HasFormula = False Then
        cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
Next cell
End Sub
Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Mayek,

You can either check if the left most number/letter is a number:
If IsNumeric(cell) = False And cell.HasFormula = False And IsNumeric(Left(cell, 1)) = False Then
Or check the format of the cell (make sure you format the dates the same as in the code):
If IsNumeric(cell) = False And cell.HasFormula = False And cell.NumberFormat <> "m/d/yyyy" Then
Choose the one you like the most.

Best regards,
Trowa
