Answer: How can I give text (A,B...) a number value in Excel (A=1, B=2..)
Hi Pete,
Yes, you can definitely use a lookup table to assign numeric values to text in Excel. Here's how you can do it:
- Create a new table with two columns. In the first column, list all the text values you want to assign numeric values to (e.g. High, Medium, Low). In the second column, list the corresponding numeric values (e.g. 3, 2, 1).
- Select the cell where you want to enter the formula that will convert the text to numeric values.
- Type the following formula:
Formula:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Table1,2,FALSE)
- In this formula, "A1" is the cell containing the text value you want to convert, "Table1" is the name of the table you created in step 1, and "2" is the column number containing the numeric values.
- Press Enter to apply the formula to the selected cell.
- Now, whenever you enter a text value in the cell you selected, the formula will automatically convert it to the corresponding numeric value from your lookup table.
