Default How to change text into number?

In cell A1, there is "1,425.06B".
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"B","")
Once I remove the B in cell A1, and it return 1,425.06 in cell B1.
When I click the - .0 button to hide the last two digits, it does not work.
Maybe it shows as a text rather than a number.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to change this text into number? so
I can use the button - .0.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric
