Default Assigning a number value to text

Does anyone know how to get Excel to recognize a word as a numeric value? I
have gone into InsertNameDefine and assigned a numeric value to the word.
Lets say the word is "Manager" and the value is "28.00". The job title and
hourly wage. If I type "Manager' into a formula it will count it as 28.00,
which is good, but if I refer to a cell that has "Manager' in it, it does not
recognize it as a number. Thanks for the help.
