Default Extract just numeric part of mixed text/number entry?

I've got a column of values like AB2.5 and CG24.3 (this is automatically
generated by a machine and I can't change it).

I want to extract just the numeric part (2.5 or 24.3) and have Excel treat
it as a number.

The letters and numbers are variable in length, so I can't just use LEFT,
RIGHT and LEN statements to trim the first/last few characters out.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Heidi
