    Urgent help required - Need to remove all entries which contain alpabets !!!

    I have a column filled with websitenames and ip address. i need only entries with ip addresses from it and all entries containing alphabets should be wiped out

    eg


    1.yahoo.com
    cnn.com
    299.212.390.21
    gsddksjdk.com
    1.1.2.2

    The output should come as

    299.212.390.21
    1.1.2.2

    With the data starting in A1, enter this in B1 and fill down. All strings with alpha characters will be marked as TRUE. Select both column A and B and sort to get all the TRUE values together and then delete them.

    Hallo,

    that is the formula which gives "TRUE" if there is only characters available in cell and Return with "False" when there is only numeric value.

    Hallo,

    What formula talking about? About newdoverman's formula?
    That is, the formula returns TRUE or FALSE. Then filter by TRUE and then delete those rows. You get what OP wants.
