    Delete rows while keeping the rows with numrics

    I am importing the file from the some simulation software for fluid mechanics. The data I am getting is in this format a.jpg. I want to keep the data with x,y,z coordinates, while removing all other data.

    Regards

    Dear Patel

    It would be even better to have coordinates in 3 separate cells, but even as string will do the job as I can convert them into column with command "text into column". I also need that the comma and other string should not be there with x,y,z coordinates.

    Dear Mike and Patel

    Thankyou for your help. I have tried the solution provided by Mike and it is awesome. But there is one problem in the last step. The x-coordinate which has two digits, the minus sign is missing. Any solution?

    Best Regards

    Change this line. Make it +3 instead of +5
