Replacing a string of words with a single number
I work with a lot of outcome data from a survey that has words as the typical response to questions. I need to convert those words to a number value so that I can analyze the data (example: "I really agree" -> "4"). I would need to be able to do this across multiple cells with multiple different values that I don't want to change. I have tried the substitute and replace functions and have run into problems with both that don't allow me to change the one specific text value to a specific number across multiple cells with different values. I am hoping there is a way to do this in excel using functions that I just haven't found yet as this is a process that I currently do manually across hundreds of cells. Would appreciate any help or advice to streamline this process, thanks!76Views0likes3Comments
