Excel: I want to assign numeric values to letters in a speradsheet
Hi,
Any help would be very greatfully received! I am trying to work on a spreadsheet for a staffing rota. Each shift type has a letter (i.e. E or LS). I need to assign a numeric value to each letter that represents the number of hours of that shift (i.e. E= 5.5), so that totals can be calculated more easily... But I'm stumped! :s |

With a letter in A1:
=LOOKUP(A1,{"A","B","C"},{1,2,3}) will give the numerical equivalent. modify to suit. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200792 "Marion Black" wrote: Hi, Any help would be very greatfully received!

Excel: I want to assign numeric values to letters in a sperads
This doesn't seem to keep the letters displayed.
The idea is that the representative letters are displayed (E, LS etc) but are interpreted by Excel as values, which can then be summed etc. And pretty please can any replies be put as simply as possible, I'm not fab with excel :( Thanks!

=VLOOKUP(E1,{"E",4;"F",3;"LG",5;"LS",5.5;"MA",4},2 ,FALSE)
adjust the values to suit You can put the values in a table and refer to that =VLOOKUP(E1,Sheet2!A1:B52,FALSE) -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Marion Black" <Marion wrote in message ...
