Default adding cells which include numbers and text

Hi, I am hugely ignorant regarding excel, no training, and apparrently
no brain... What I need to do is allocate a number to a placing i.e.
1st = 100, 2nd = 99, 3rd = 98 etc. If A5 (for example) has 1st in it, I
put in A6: =101-A5, but it will not add it because of the text. How do
I get the formula to ignore the text in A5???

Shelley ;)
