    Re: Converting text values to numerical values

    Ok last question i promise. I have been using the formula you guys supplied me with and it works like a dream. In the last part of my spreadsheet I have to change the formula slightly.

    I need to add 12 to a cell (CP5) but get the answer displayed as text again e.g. 1a, 1b etc. Any ideas, im sure its a simple fix??

    How do i ammend the following??

    =LOOKUP(CP5,{"1a","1b","1c","2a","2b","2c","3a","3b","3c","4a","4b","4c","5a","5b","5c","w"},{11,9,7,17,15,13,23,21,19,29,27,25,35,33,31,3})

    well given the result of the last formula, this should convert it back to the original letters :-

    =SUBSTITUTE(INT((C3-(MOD(C3,6)))/6)&CHAR(100-MOD(C3,6)/2),"0b","w")
