to convert test to numbers use the =text()
if cell A1 contains in numbers $123.00 the in A2 you could put ="The total for January = "&TEXT(A1,"$00.00") "david" wrote: i am wring aon a scheduling spreadsheet i am tryo to find a way so that i can enter a character in cells in one part in the preadsheet to stand for shifts and so that i can have tha chaacter stand for a number so that i can use it to come up with a total .( the bottom is divided into 1/2 hrs and used to determine the shift, the top is also in 1/2 hs but is based on the salesfor that day) is there a way i camn do this so that it will be easy to for others to use? |

One method is a formula. Adjust to suit. =LOOKUP(B1,{"A","B","C","D"},{1,2,3,4}) Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 8 Mar 2007 21:43:10 -0800, david wrote: i am wring aon a scheduling spreadsheet i am tryo to find a way so that i can enter a character in cells in one part in the preadsheet to stand for shifts and so that i can have tha chaacter stand for a number so that i can use it to come up with a total .( the bottom is divided into 1/2 hrs and used to determine the shift, the top is also in 1/2 hs but is based on the salesfor that day) is there a way i camn do this so that it will be easy to for others to use? |
