How to filter only integers (whole numbers) or decimal numbers in Excel?

Author Xiaoyang Last modified

If there is a list of numbers in your worksheet which contain whole numbers (integers) and decimal numbers, now you want to filter only the integers or non-integers from the list data as following screenshots shown, how could you solve it in Excel?


Filter integers (whole numbers) or decimal numbers with a helper column

In excel, you can identify the whole numbers or decimal numbers with a formula first and then filter the desired numbers as you need. Please do as these:

1. Next to the numbers column, please enter this formula =INT(A2)=A2 into blank cell B2, see screenshot:

2.Then drag the fill handle over to the cells that you want to contain this formula, the TRUE indicates whole numbers and FALSE indicates decimal numbers, see screenshot:

3. And then select column B, and click Data > Filter to filter the desired numbers as you want.

4. Click a screenshot of the drop-down icon button beside the cell B1, and then check True or False as you need, see screenshot:

5. Then click OK, all the numbers you need have been filtered out. If you check True option, you will filter only the whole numbers, and if you check False option, you will get all the decimal numbers. See screenshots:

6. At last, you can delete the helper column as you need.
