how can I get the letters A & S to add 1 in excel
Hi
assuming that you're not doing this in code and are looking for a worksheet function, something along the lines of a COUNTIF might work. =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"A") counts the number of A's in the range A1:A100 or =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"S")*2 counts the number of S's in the range A1:A100 and multiples the answer by 2 so =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"A")+COUNTIF(A1:A100,"S")*2 will probably give you what you're looking for Hope this helps Cheers JulieD "johnboy46" wrote in message ...

Of course you can't add letters but maybe
=if(a3="A",1,if(a3="s",2,"")) or use the COUNTIF function. Look in HELP index -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "johnboy46" wrote in message ... I have a spread sheet for members in the colum that adds the attendences up is there a way of that I can get it to add an A as 1 & an S as 2 |

you're welcome ... when i'm teaching - my advice to my students is that if
you struggle to get a solution for more than 30 mins then go check out the newsgroups (but do try first) ... i learnt this the hard way too :) Cheers JulieD "johnboy46" wrote in message ...
