Convert a letter to a numeric value
If I have data in a column, in alpha form, is there any way to automatically
convert that data to numeric values in another column? For example, if cell A1 contains B, A2 contains B, A3 contains A, A4 contains C, how can I get B1 to show 3, B2 to show 3, B3 to show 4, B4 to show 2, etc? (A should =4, B should =3, C should=2). |

Convert a letter to a numeric value
In B1, place something like this and paste down the column as needed.
