Default Select only the letters from a cell

Here is one way

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,--MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5
,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 11,12,13,14,15})),"")

Hi,

I have a list of values which include letters and numbers:

ADP45
DSVC54
DEPT25 etc....
In the next column I want to only see the letters without the numbers:
ADP
DSVC
DEPT

Is there a function to do this?

Thanks.

Isa.
