Default how can I subtract excel cell values that contain both a number a.

I have measurement data from an ATE system where the results are given as
both a number and 'unit' letters for example 22.3 dB, 2.109 MHz, 12.06 V and
0.175 A. To calculate temperature drift from these readings, I need to
subtract cells that contain both a number and a letter i.e.

2.012 MHz - 2.005 MHz = 0.007
does not matter if the answer contains the 'units' or not.

anyone know how I can achieve this ?
