Conditional formating that ignores text

I want all cells in a column to turn red if they are not within this price range 69.00-250.00 (not to include blank cell or text). I can do this with conditional formating but it changes text I enter in that column red too.

Here is what I have:
condition 1: Cell Value is between 1 and 68.99 (highlight red)
condition 2: Cell Value is greater than 250.00 (highlight red)

This works, but letters (I need to enter codes sometimes) I enter are highlighted red.

Help!?
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Instead of Cell Value Is, use:

Condition2: Formula is =AND(ISNUMBER(A1),A1>250) where A1 is the cell you are formatting.

Actually, seeing as you're formatting *both* conditions as red, why not make it *one* condition and free up the other 2 spots?

This seems to work for me:
Condition1: Formula is | =ISNUMBER(A1)*OR((A1>=1)*(A1<=68.99),A1>250)
Change A1 to whatever cell you need it to refer to.

This should highlight the cell only if the value is a number between 1-68.99 or over 250.
