Default Cell format to use for calculation

I have multiple spreadsheets in a workbook and each worksheet contains
recorded rainfall data for each day of a month. In the column containing the
recorded rainfall, the data is entered as:

1

or

1"

I need to add the totals for each month, but I cannot since some of the
contains contain alphanumeric values.is there a function that I can use that
can disregard the text and focus only on the numeric value of the cell
instead of having to copy the value into a new cell each time I want to add?

Thanks.
