If the OP is looking for a UDF, here is a non-Regular Expressions on he can
consider also...

Function RemoveAlpha(Rng As Range) As Variant
Dim X As Long
If Not Rng.Value Like "*#*" Then
RemoveAlpha = CVErr(xlErrValue)
Else
For X = 1 To Len(Rng.Value)
RemoveAlpha = Val(Mid(Rng.Value, X))
If RemoveAlpha < 0 Then Exit For
Next
End If
End Function

...
Function RemAlpha(str As String) As String
'Remove Alphas from a string
Dim re As Object
Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
re.Global = True
re.Pattern = "\D"
RemAlpha = re.Replace(str, "")
End Function

=RemAlpha(cellref)*1 the *1 produces a numeric value
