ISAF Media Analysis

Media Analysis formula---Need Help
 
I am trying to create a formula that calculate the text value in a range. For
example, if cells A1 thru A30 are POS, POS would equal +1. And if A1 thru A30
equal NEG, NEG would equal -1. I need to calculate everything POS and NEG.

What I ahve tried is =If(A1="POS", 1)

Needless to say, what I have tried does not appear to be working. Please help

In B1, copied down: =IF(A1="POS",1,IF(A1="NEG",-1,""))
will convert the text answers into the equivalent numbers
You could then sum col B, or whatever
