Default Conundrum

Earlier today Max kindly worked out a function for me as follows:-

The following data is in cell A1.
0/12-F

The functions below placed in cells B1, C1, D1 give the values 1, 2, F.


=MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""),LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""))-(3-COLUMNS($
A:A)),1)

=MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""),LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""))-(3-COLUMNS($
A:B)),1)

=MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""),LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""))-(3-COLUMNS($
A:C)),1)

I now need to convert the extracted data, 1, 2, F to other values. I have a
function for this in cell E1, namely,
=IF(AND(B1=1,B1<=9),CHOOSE(B1,9,7,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,) ,0)

The above should give the value 9 with 1 in cell B1, but it doesn't. Maybe
it's because it is piggy-backed onto another function?

When I manually type 1 into cell B1, I get the correct output in cell E1,
i.e.,9.

I have tried formatting the input and output cells to text, number etc., but
it makes no difference.
