remove alphas from string

How do I remove the alpha characters from a string in a calculated field? I only want the numeric values.

I'd suggest using the TRANSLATE() function like:

TRANSLATE(fieldname,"A","")

This works fine if I know the letters that I want to remove...but is there a way to select a range? i.e. [A-Z]

You'd need to select them all:

TRANSLATE(fieldname,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","")
