Not sure EXACTLY what you are looking for but within the constraints of a
formula similar to that you could replace the letters with their
corresponding number
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=0
Sum and then divide by classes taken.
Not sure if this is even in the realm of your question but its how I read it

You have 5 letter grades (A thru E) in A1:A5 and want the GPA
=AVERAGE(CHOOSE(MATCH(A1,{"A","B","C","D","E"},0), 4,3,2,1,0),CHOOSE(MATCH(A2,{"A","B","C","D","E"},0 ),4,3,2,1,0),CHOOSE(MATCH(A3,{"A","B","C","D","E"} ,0),4,3,2,1,0),CHOOSE(MATCH(A4,{"A","B","C","D","E "},0),4,3,2,1,0),CHOOSE(MATCH(A5,{"A","B","C","D", "E"},0),4,3,2,1,0))

Note I have made A=4, B=3, etc. Some schools use 4.1 for A but the logic of
this escapes me.
