Assigning a number value to a letter?
I am trying to see how I can assign a number value (10) to a letter (X) that
is typed into a cell. Everytime I type (X) I want it to represent the number (10) in any formulas that I want to use it in. So, if a type (X) in seven cells it should add up to 70. Can I do this? |
=SUM(IF(A2:A20="X",10))
as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Orphan86" wrote in message ...

One way is illustrated by the example in the CSV file below. ---------- cut here ---------- X,G,"=10*COUNTIF(A1:B6,""X"")" G,H, H,X, X,V, V,X, X,G, |
Amother approach is to put 10 in a cell, say A1, then pulldown Insert Name
enter X and touch Add. From that point on you can use X in place of 10 in formulae. For example you can put =37*X in a cell to get 370. In your case you can put =X in a column to get your sum. -- Gary's Student "Jay" wrote: I am trying to see how I can assign a number value (10) to a letter (X) that is typed into a cell.
