This extract I have is really the most awful thing I have ever seen. Will
try to explain in some more detail:
There are a lot of blank rows which I need to delete. I meant to find such
rows by: NOT(ISNUMBER(Bx))
Most of the rows I need to keep have a date in column B (dd-mm-yyyy), that
is a 5-digit number and also have numbers in column C and D.
Some rows however have a 4-digit number in column B and in the same row
there is a text in column C (and number in column D). I meant to find such
rows by : AND(ISNUMBER(Bx),ISTEXT(C)).
Finally there are rows with a date in column B (dd-mm-yyyy) and in the same
row there is (a time in column C) and a text in column D where the first 4
characters are "Side". I meant to find that by: LEFT(Dx;4)="Side"
I know the above is just an explanation of the formula and actually I feel
that this is not what you ask for.
For blank cells it is sufficient to check column B
I would gladly tell more if I just knew exactly what more information you
need.
