Help with formulas

[Uktnp]

Hi all. I would like to make a new sheet and add up hours in a roster as I go. I need to put in codes though, which will have how many hours it takes to do that code, which will add them up as I go. Something like...

Y51 = 5 hours
Y13 = 4 hours
Y42 = 6 hours

So when I just type in the code, it will add the hours up for me that the code takes to do it.
It is for a rostering system. Can anyone please tell me how I can give those codes a number value, the rest I should be able to work out.

Thanks in advance.
😀

You can use vlookup
a b c d
Y51 5 Hours Y51 =VLOOKUP(C1,A1:B3,2,TRUE)
Y13 4 Hours
Y42 6 Hours
