I have a column, say its Column C, that has multiple rows showing either a "P" (for Positive) or "N" (for Negative) impact on endeavors described in the various Rows of Column B.
I then type a numerical value between 1 and 5 in Column D to reflect the severity/lack thereof of the impact.
I want the value in Column D to be a positive value if "P" shows up to the left in Column C, or a negative value (meaning it displays as -1, -2, -3, etc.) if "N" shows up to the left in Column C.
What's the easiest way to do that? I did it but in a very cumbersome way and would like to simplify the method.
Thanks.
