Default the value of Text?


I Hope I'm just overlooking a stock standard way to do this, but:

I'd like to find a fairly simple way to convert text in a cell to a
numerical value, that I can then use as a checksum.
I don't mean cells containing the word"one" would equal 1, but rather
something like ("o"=15)+("n"=14)+("e"=5)=34
I want to use it to help uniquely identify rows, so it has to be
simple, or it will take too long to execute and be counter productive.

Thanks,
Kestrel
