Default HOW TO ASSIGN NUMERICAL VALUES TO LETTERS IN EXCEL

I am trying to assign numerical values to grade scores - b+, c- etc, however
when i use lookup like this
=LOOKUP(C5,{"U","G-","G","G+","F-","F","F+","E-","E","E+","D-","D","D+","C-","C","C+","B-","B","B+","A-","A","A+","A*"},{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 ,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23})
which I thought would work I get a #N/A message. Can someone tell me where
I'm going wrong? I'm using Excel 2003.
