Don't highlight header row

Hi, I am highlighting cells with values that contain non numeric values or the numeric values that are greater or less than 10 digits in the column. The code does this. However, the numeric check does not stop at row 2. It picks up the header row which is text and highlights it. I can get around this by changing .End(xlUp).Row to .End(xlDown).Row in the code but it adds time to the code execution. Any pointers on getting the code to stop at row 2 would be welcomed.

VBA Code:
Dim myRange As Range, lr As Long
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row

Set myRange = Range("H2:H" & lr)
For Each cell In myRange
If Len(Trim(cell)) > 0 Then
If IsNumeric(cell) And Len(cell) <> 10 Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
If Not IsNumeric(cell) Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next cell
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Unless I am missing something, it will only select the heading as part of the range if the column only contains the heading (and no data rows).
You can either enclose the code from Set down in an if statement eg
VBA Code:
If lr > 1 Then 
' do the rest of the code
End if

or simply set lr to 2 if it returns a 1
VBA Code:
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
If lr = 1 Then lr = 2
