Find Replace Wildcard

I am trying to find all number entries that contain any character other then
0-9 and
replace the cell and remove everthing from those cells

Hi,

This is confusing!

I am trying to find all number entries that contain any character other then
0-9

If you are looking for number cells only what else would be in the cell
other then 0 - 9?

Please provide some example of what you are looking for.

You want to replace the cell with what?

You want to remove everything or just anything that isn't 0-9?

Which is it?

You could use this UDF to remove all but 0-9

Function RemAlpha(str As String) As String
'Remove Alphas from a string
Dim re As Object
Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
re.Global = True
re.Pattern = "\D"
RemAlpha = re.Replace(str, "")
End Function

Usage is: =remalphas(cellref)

Or run this macro on a selected range..................

Sub RemoveAlphas()
' Remove alpha characters from all strings.
' except for decimal points
Dim intI As Integer
Dim rngR As Range, rngRR As Range
Dim strNotNum As String, strTemp As String

Set rngRR = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, _
xlTextValues)

For Each rngR In rngRR
strTemp = ""
For intI = 1 To Len(rngR.Value)
If Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1) Like "[0-9,.]" Then 'edit to suit
strNotNum = Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1)
Else: strNotNum = ""
End If
strTemp = strTemp & strNotNum
Next intI
rngR.Value = strTemp
Next rngR

End Sub

remove everything if there is any character other then numeric in that cell

Download and install the free add-in Morefunc.xll from:
http://xcell05.free.fr/
....then use this formula

=REGEX.SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\D+")

this does not empty the cell only removes the none numeric characters

I would assume your selection contained no text value cells.

Sub Remove_If_Not_Nums()
Dim intI As Integer
Dim rngR As Range, rngRR As Range
Dim strNotNum As String, strTemp As String
On Error GoTo endit
Set rngRR = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, _
xlTextValues)
For Each rngR In rngRR
strTemp = ""
For intI = 1 To Len(rngR.Value)
If Not (Mid(rngR.Value, intI, 1)) Like "[0-9]" Then
rngR.Value = ""
End If
Next
Next
Exit Sub
endit:
MsgBox "only numbers or blanks in selection"
End Sub
