Convert text into number in Excel
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone was able to help. I've been racking my brains for ages and search countless forums to try and figure this out.
I have a Microsoft form that has a Likert scale question and Microsoft forms does not allow for a label and a numerical score to the label. So, when I export the responses from the form into excel the response label appears rather than a score. I want to convert the label to their score/numerical value i.e. None of the time = 1, Rarely = 2, Some of the time = 3, Often = 4, All of the time = 5 so I have numerical data to analyse.
Is there a way to convert these labels/ text in excel to their score numerical value so the responses appear as their score in the sheet?
I really appreciate any help.
I've put a screen cap of my Microsoft from and its excel output for reference.
Thanks,
Bethany
