I am trying to make make a macro that will take a last name as an input and do a calculation on the values of the characters and come up with a unique password. How can I do calculations with characters other than numbers?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
I would start messing about with the "chr()" property. This allows conversion between letters and numbers.

Not quite sure what you're looking for here.
