Formating numbers to appear as text

 Recently ive been ,aking an excel sheet of my grades, and now i want to create a chart based off of it, so that when i type 7 its written as A*, 6 will be A and so on. ive tried this formula [=7]"A*";[=6]"A";[=5]"B";[=4]"C";[=3]"D";[=2]"E";[=1]"U";General and this one [=7]"A*";[=6]"A";[=5]"B";[=4]"C";[=3]"D";[=2]"E";[=1]"U" but i get errors. however when i just type [=7]"A*";[=6]"A" it works but no more than that, is there any way to fix this without having to create a helper column?
