This is going to sound silly, but I'm hitting a wall with this
seemingly
simple formula.

I have a column of data, lets say its all in column A. In that column
there
are a number of different values that could be present, both alpha (by
itself) and numeric (by itself). In column B I want to write a formula
that
looks at column A and if the value there is a number, then carry that
value
into column B. however if the value in column A is alpha characters, I
want
the cell in Column B to remain blank.

Any suggestions?
