Default Remove/Ignore Letters when Summing cells in a column.

10+12+20+25+35I have a column of data that has number, as well as letters. I
need to add the numbers to get the sum. The column might look like:

10mi
12mi
20mi
n/a
25mi
35mi

The letters are always the last two characters in the cell. Some cells have
"n/a" which can be 0.
So, in the above example, the sum I am looking for is 102 (10+12+20+0+25+35).
How can i write the formula so that it either ignores letters, or truncates
the cell 2 characters.

Thanks
