I am hoping someone can help me.
I have a spread sheet that has multiple columns with different texts, I would like to assign each text a value and calculate the total, for example:

A1 has the word YES with a numeral value of 3
B1 Has the word Maybe with a value of 2
C1 has the word No with a value of 1

In D1 I would like the total value: in this case 6 to show.

Please help.
