Default Parsing a alpha character out of a cell


I have a spreadsheet containing weather data - the cells containing
windspeed and wind direction contain a data flag in addition to the
numeric value, example 90S for wind direction and 2.1S for wind speed.
I wish to get rid of the alpha character so I can work with the numeric
values.

How do I parse each cell to remove the alpha character(s)?
