give text a dollar numeric value

[Gav]

How do I give text codes eg. "LC" or "MC" a numeric or dollars value? I want
the numeric value to be hidden so I am able to insert text codes into cells
then sum a total at the end of a column and/or the bottom of a row that
displays a numeric total. I will have not more than ten text codes for each
column.

=SUM(INDEX(N1:N10,IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1:C2,M1:M10,0)),MATCH(C1:C2,M1:M10,0))))

This assumed that the codes and values are in M1:N10, and C1:C2 are the
coded values to sum.

This almost did what I wanted. I,ll try to be more specific.Column A will be for a particular service say mow lawn. The codes for column may be S for small lawn, M for medium and L for large. Column B will be the same except for a different service but the same principle with the codes, although different codes. At the bottom of A eg. A50 I want to sum the codes numeric values eg. A=5, B=10 etc, two A's and four B's would =50.

Then across each row (a row for each client) Sum the codes as per the column
set up.
