Default Ignore text but not numerics on SUM() function

A solution that is far from perfect is to remove the K or KB from the text.
So, in a separate column, type the formula (this example supposed that the
1024__ in cell B6, adapt to your needs):
=IF(ISNUMBER(B6), B6, VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B6, "KB", ""), "K", "")))

It will not trap other characters though.

Then, you simply make the sum of this column.

Stephane.
