Default converting from text to numerical number

I have a spread sheet of entire year schedule. The format as following:

1 2 3 .... 31
row 1
row 2
row 3 Jan
row 4
row 5 Feb

row x Dec

I would like to replace column 1 up to Jan to 1. Replace the cell below Jan
to Feb to 2. etc.

Would anyone help.

Thanks in advance.

You could select cells A1:A3, type a 1, then press Ctrl+Enter
Select A4:A5, type a 2, and press Ctrl+Enter
And so on, till all twelve months are done.
