Seperate numbers from text - custom column

[Matt22365]

Hi all

I would like to seperate some numbers from text in my source data (sharepoint task list). 

I have a column which represents work and the data is entered as 1 hr (this is so the resource can be captured in MS Project so the data entry cannot be changed)

However when this comes across to power BI it recognises it as text. I would like to extract the 1 from the hr so BI understands it as a number.

I found a way to do this on a blog using the formula: =Text.Select([Work],{"0".."9"}) as a custom column in query editor. This works great for whole numbers but not for decimals. e.g. 0.7 hrs => 7. Does anyone know how to adjust the formula to account for decimals?

As reference, the blog can be found here - https://eriksvensen.wordpress.com/2018/03/06/extraction-of-number-or-text-from-a-column-with-both-te...

Thanks
