Hi,
Is it possible to give a numerical value based on the contents of another cell?

In cell A1 would be any combination of the letters representing the days of the week;

MTUWTHFSA

For example, M would equal 2, TU would equal 3, W would equal 5, TH would equal 10, F would equal 20, and SA would equal 25 therefore I have all days of the week represented the total in cell B1 would be 65.

If A1= TUW B1 would = 7 or if A1 = FSA B1 would = 45

And any other combination thereafter.

Is there a formula to do this? if not is there any other way that I can do this?

I hope I have explained myself clearly and thank for any help given.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
In B2:
International version: (with comma list separator)
Code:
=SUM(COUNTIF($A2,"*"&{"M","TU","W","TH","F","SA"}&"*")*{2,3,5,10,20,25})

Dutch Version (with backslash list separator)
Code:
=SUM(COUNTIF($A2;"*"&{"M"\"TU"\"W"\"TH"\"F"\"SA"}&"*")*{2\3\5\10\20\25})
and copy down
