Can anyone suggest a function to extract the numeric value from the alphanumeric string and convert it to integer at the same time?
The samples of 'dirty' data for the 'Taxes varchar (10)' column are: '$13000' or '2300/year'.
We use the ISNUMERIC function, but it allows some special characters like '$', '+' and CAST to interger fails.
The alpha character could be at the start or end of the string and we are only talkig about 10 char length column.
