    mixed data

    Hi

    I need some help with excel.
    I have some data in column.
    All the data is supposed to be numbers, however there is a possibility that some entries are strings.
    for Example
    Column A
    1
    1
    2
    4
    test
    t
    6

    What can I do to create a macro that will highlight the fields that have strings

    Thanks for your help

    Just to be different, here is another approach to the same result ...

    An empty cell is considered numeric, by the way. But, a "blank space" in a cell is considered text.
