    Hi,

    You could do a global Find & Replace.

    Alternatively, using an Excel formula you could try in cell B1:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    where column A contains "Large" and "Small" (and potentially other values too?), and column B is where you want the 0 and 1 returned.

    Hope this helps
