Default Removing Trailing Alpha?

I have a column of data that looks like the following:

1501
1501B
1520
1530
1530B
11
11B
120
120C
120D

I want to pull the numerals from the cells and somehow "discard" the alpha
portion of the datum therein. I've tried, RIGHT, 1) with the intention of
doing a sort; but that pulls the numerics if there is no alpha. I've tried
Find and Replace *B with * and it puts a handy little star in place of the
orginal datum. I've messed around with MID, Cell, 1,4) but that doesn't
impact the 3 numeral - 1 alpha combinations.

I'm assuming there is an easy way of doing this. I'd appreciate your help
with this problem. Thanks,
