Default How to ignore text on SUM() function...

Hi. I'm using the SUM() function to add cell data which contains
bandwidth or kilobyte information. The SUM cell shows the data in
kilobytes. The formula I'm using in the SUM cell is =SUM(CELL RANGE)
& " KB". My problem is that the formula ignores a cell entirely if
someone puts an alpha character after the numerics - ie 1024K instead
of 1024. Is there a way to use the SUM() function and ignore aplha
characters but not numerics? This way if someone types 1024K or 1024
it still will show as 1024K in the sum field.
