    Need to remove invalid data

    I am working through a huge data set of fish lengths and weights. We discovered that some of the data appears to be invalid from a combo of user entry error and rounding issues. Is there a way that we can take all values that have a "zero" value in the hundredths place (The cell displays it as .10, however the zero is only there because of the formatting of the cell. True value of the cell = .1) and have them be removed?

    Data I have:
    Length Weight
    2.3 .11
    2.3 .1
    2.4 .23
    2.6 .1
    2.7 .3
    2.8 .21


    What we want:
    Length Weight
    2.3 .11
    2.4 .23
    2.8 .21

    In C2:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    and copy down
    Autofilter All TRUEs in column C and delete whole rows.
    Switch off filtering, delete column C and ... that's it.
    Best Regards,

    Kaper

    Re: Need to remove invalid data

    as those are the results of custom formatting then your .10 will actually be 0.1 and you want them to remove
    in C2 you can use below
    =LEN(B2)=4 drag down. Rest as said by Kaper

    More we learn about excel, more it shows us, how less we know about it.
