Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Welcome to the Board!

Turn on your Macro Recorder, and record yourself setting up a Filter to only show numbers greater than zero (your positive numbers).
Then, add this following code that will delete all records that are not hidden, and remove the filter:
Code:
'   Deletes all unhidden rows except for the header (first row only)
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0).Resize(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count - 1).Rows.Delete
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

'   Remove filters
    ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
