Default Character as a Number

Is the way to do this with If statements or does someone have a better idea
(I sure hope so!)?
A character in column A = 0; char in col B=2; char in col C=4; char in col
D=6 and so on. In a row, only one character can be put in a row in one of the
four columns, and the same character must always be used consistently. The
row is then summed and a percentage taken from another cell. For example, in
Row 2, there's an 'x' in col C - the sum of the row would be 4. Clear? (as
mud); in Row 3, there's an 'x' in Col D so the sum of the row would be 6.
Thanks!!! Jani
