Default alphabet to numbers?


I want to associate letters of the alphabet with numbers so that when a
letter is put in a cell, a numerical value can be associated. Sort of
like a phone pad-I want it so that you could put the letter in a cell
and a designated number would automatiocaly show up in another cell. Is
there a way to create a formula that can do this? Help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Lori,

=LOOKUP(A1,{"a","b","c","d"},{1,2,3,4})

Exten in the same style as needed.
