I have this text value "6100000"

I am trying to write an if statement to check if the first character of this text string is numeric than to skip it and move on to the next row, no matter what I do I can't get it to work.

Help please

You need to give more details on the process. It looks like maybe you want to loop on a specific range. If so what is the range? What do you want it to do if it does NOT find a numeric value?

The more details you give us, the better the answer we can provide for you.

If the result is not numeric I delete the row. I

I have mixed data that is being evaluated in this loop. I only want to retain the results where the cell is a number. I can handle all the other code, its this statement that is causing me issues.

=ISNUMBER(MID(C15,1,1)) is returning False

Based on the value "6140000" I would assume this statement would return TRUE and in fact is not

Thanks again

Columns("A:A").Select
Range("A1:A5000").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range( _
"AP2"), Unique:=True

Range("AP2").Select
Do While ActiveCell.Value <> ""

' Insert if statement here
' If its numeric skip and move on
' If its text DeleteTheRow


ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Loop

Try this macro (designed to run on column C):
Code:
Sub MyDelete()

    Dim i As Long
    
    For i = Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
        If Not IsNumeric(Left(Cells(i, "C"), 1)) Then Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
    Next i
    
End Sub
