Excel filter related doubt

In a column say we have combination of data like Date, text and number. Is it possible to filter only the numeric value from such a column?
The number data is not similar it is different in this column

Hi ,

Text and Numeric data can be distinguished using the TYPE function ; however to differentiate between ordinary numbers and Dates is not easy , unless you make use of the cell format ; the CELL function with the format parameter will return one result for date formatted cells , another for accounting / currency formatted cells , and another for cells having the General format.
