Default Converting a symbol to a numeric value?

Not quite that simple.

What if you have four strikes in a row then a spare then a count of 8?

What was the count on the first ball of your spare frame?

I want to use a 'tick' symbol in a spread sheet recording attendance. I would
like to then total the number of ticks in a row. How do I get Excel to give
each cell with a tick a value of 1 so that I can simply use the auto sum
facility at the end of the row?
