Here is a little bit shorter formula to do the same thing...

=C1*(68-CODE(E1))

If your scale is:

A= 3
B = 2
C = 1
D = 0

=C1*(MATCH(E1,{"D","C","B","A"},0)-1)

I know this is simple but I do not know how to make it work.
Column A, B and C contain numbers, Column E contains letters A, B, C, D.
What I want to do is if Column E contains A then Column D=C*3 if Column E
contains B then Column D=C*2, etc.
