Ignore/remove text from column

Hi,

 

I have a column of stock numbers that range from 10000000 to 80000000 however there is the odd entry that contains text. Id like to create a dax that would create a new column that only display the stock numbers and therefore ignores the text?

 

Screenshot below of result from current column

To create a custom column as below.

 

Text.Select([Stock Number], {"0".."9"})

@Anonymous  is this using power query not DAX though?

 

I am trying to use DAX to solve this?

It's recommended to use Power query for column creatation. IF not possible then only go for dax.
