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]
[TD]Formula to remove text[/TD]

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
with PowerQuery (Get&Transform)

[Table="width:, class:head"]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Tel number[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Numbers[/td][/tr]

[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]Mobile: 01234567899[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#E2EFDA]
1234567899​
[/td][/tr]

1234567899​
[/td][/tr]
[/table]


Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    C2R = List.Transform({32..45,47,58..126}, each Character.FromNumber(_)),
    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"})
in
    ROC[/SIZE]
