In Google Sheets, I have a system of scoring that uses letters paired with numerical values.
| letters | values |
|---|---|
| A | 26 |
| B | 25 |
| C | 24 |
| D | 23 |
| E | 22 |
| F | 21 |
In my data, I have columns that are populated with letters and for the letters in each row I want to SUM their associated values.
| Cat.1 | Cat.2 | Cat.3 | Cat.4 | SUM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | F | F | B | 93 |
| B | E | A | A | 99 |
| C | D | D | E | 92 |
In the table above the first SUM returns 93 because SUM(A,F,F,B) is equivalent to SUM(26,21,21,25)=93
I have tried to find an answer online, but I'm having a hard time finding one that is specific to my problem.
Please note that I have very basic knowledge of Google Sheets/Excel, so I would like to keep it as simple as possible.
