I am looking for a way to remove any text from a cell and leave just numbers. So far I have found a few examples, but they either target predefined text or specialized characters.
SUBSTITUTE(A1, ".", "")
SUBSTITUTE(text, old_text, new_text, [nth_appearance])
Example, my cell can contain mixed text and numbers in any position, so how do I just leave the numbers and remove any characters...

ipsum01lorem
0101lorem
Select your cells and run this small macro:
Sub qwerty()
For Each r In Selection
vout = ""
v = r.Text
n = Len(v)
For i = 1 To n
ch = Mid(v, i, 1)
If ch Like "[0-9]" Then
vout = vout & ch
End If
Next i
r.Value = vout
Next r
End Sub
If you want to keep all numbers and period (for example, decimal numbers), add elseif to check for period. Code:
Sub qwerty()
For Each r In Selection
vout = ""
v = r.Text
n = Len(v)
For i = 1 To n
ch = Mid(v, i, 1)
If ch Like "[0-9]" Then
vout = vout & ch
ElseIf ch Like "." Then
vout = vout & ch
End If
Next i
r.Value = vout
Next r
End Sub
