Default convert to Numer

If your resulting number will never have more than 14 digits in it, and if
the text string your digits are embedded in will always be less than 300
characters total, then you can use this formula originally posted by
Lars-Åke Aspelin...

=MID(SUMPRODUCT(--MID("01"&A1,SMALL((ROW($1:$300)-1)*ISNUMBER(-MID("01"&A1,ROW($1:$300),1)),ROW($1:$300))+1,1),10 ^(300-ROW($1:$300))),2,300)

This is an array formula and has to be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
rather than just ENTER.
