Default How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a cell

I posed the question wrong. What I really want is a sum of a column with the
first letter of every cell being the variable.

Thanks

I am trying to look at a cell and put a #1 in it:

Example Column C = A-LA41-09-92256 I need a formula here
to put a # 1 if the value is A- or H-

Thanks in advance.
