You can't unless you make conversion. Note: It's not possible to convert entire data into numeric value. That's why conversion could failed.

Please, see: CAST and CONVERT (T-SQL)[^]

By The Way: If yoou store numeric data as a varchar, it means: bad table design. I would recommend you to re-design your table.
