Default Using numbers as numbers in a cell having text

In a spreadsheet I have headings for blood-test values (i.e. RBC, WBC, etc.).
The values below sometimes have text after to indicate the value is (L) -
low, or (VL) - v. low, such as: "23.5 (VL)". Is there a way to use the values
in cells that have text as values, that is to always ignore text and treat
numbers within as numbers. There are many, many other spreadsheets where this
ability w/b very beneficial. Thank you!
