Adding hidden values to a text and having them add up in a total box

Copper Contributor

Hi Guys, I'm a newby to advanced excel. I am doing rostering and I want to assign shifts to my employees but I don't want the hours visible. So they will be assigned as below.

I would like the shift codes to have an underlying value and add up to the amount of daily hours in the total box, then I want the hours to be carried over to another sheet with the weeks hours.

Does this make sense?

 

Can someone help me please?
