How do import just the numerical data into MATLAB

I have EMG data in an xls file that contains a numerical value associated to a unit value such as m for micro. How do I get rid of this alphabetical unit, as when I import and try to plot the data, MATLAB replaces the number and unit with NaN.

Have you used the import tool which will strip off consistent units for you?

Right click on the file in the current folder and select "Import Data" or Hit the "Import Data" button on the home tab.
