Why does the formula VALUE("2a") return 0.0833333 ?

In my table, "2a" is a character string. I would assume that would mean putting it in the VALUE function would return an ERROR but actually it returns 0.0833333. Does anyone know why??

    Yes the other solution worked for me, thank you! I was just curious about why exactly the "a" was allowed to be converted to a number. Thanks again!
