Excel data report automation

Hello,


Sorry for bothering you with such a simple request, but I need help with the best approach to the following:


I have several columns of information (customer survey data) that I need converted from text (excellent, good, fair, etc.) to numbers. Each month I want to add more survey data (text) to the spreadsheet and have the results automatically calculated.


I know I need to place the score matrix in sheet 2, but could you please help me with the function that would most efficiently convert the text into numbers?


Thank you for your time.
 
Hi,


If you structure your score matrix as below and then use the vlookup function this will pull through the values against your text:


Col A ColB

Excellent 4

Good 3

Fair 2

Poor 1


=VLOOKUP(TEXT,MATRIX TABLE,2,FALSE)


eg: vlookup("Excellent",$A$1:$B$4,2,false)


I hope this is what you were after.
