Ooopps! Backwards.

Go with the VLOOKUP table and switch the letters and numbers columns.

Enter a letter in C1.

In B1 enter this formula

=CHAR(A1 + 96)

Enter a number from 1 to 26 in A1

If numbers were not 1 through 26 you could use a VLOOKUP table.

Enter numbers in A1:A26

Enter letters a through z in Column B

In C1 enter a number

In D1 enter this formula =VLOOKUP(C1,$A$1:$B$26,2,FALSE)

I want to associate letters of the alphabet with numbers so that when a
letter is put in a cell, a numerical value can be associated. Sort of
like a phone pad-I want it so that you could put the letter in a cell
and a designated number would automatiocaly show up in another cell. Is
there a way to create a formula that can do this? Help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.
