Default Alpha with numeric and numeric only numbers in a column

Copy/paste this UDF to a general module in your workbook.

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

In a helper column enter

=RemAlpha(cellref)

Drag/copy down.

I have a column with 2 alpha letters leading numbers and also numbers only in
the same column. I want to put all records in a new column without any
alpha. How would I do that?

Example:

ar3456789
bt56789
234567
78901234
etc.
