Guys, is there a way to use a formula to remove all text but only leave the numbers (as per example below). Also, remove the zero from the beginning although excel normally does this anyway.

Thanks


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 283"]
<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Tel number[/TD]

    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Trim = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Numbers", each Text.Trim([Tel number],C2R)),
    TypeNumber = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Trim,{{"Numbers", type number}}),
    ROC = Table.SelectColumns(TypeNumber,{"Numbers"})
