Format Cells Number not returning number value for chart data

Formula below, returns a numerical value.  Works fine

=IF(F3="A","5",IF(F3="B","4",IF(F3="C","3",IF(F3="D","2",IF(F3="E","1",IF(F3="N","0",""))))))

 

Then when trying to represent cell value as a number, Sample always returns the text value.  The error then prevents the data being used to create a scatter plot chart as the value returned is 0.00.

    "5" if text (a string).  5 (without quotes) is numeric.

     

    The format of the cell does not convert text ("5") into a numeric value (5).
