Translate Cell value to a specific number
Hello,
My Master sheet has one column called "Portfolio,". Each cell in that column *may* contain multiple values - up to5choices (as shown below)
I'd like a new column that would convert those "names" to a specified number (ie. 1,2,3,4,5)
for example (using below as an example), it would translate to....
1
1,2,3,4,5
1,2,3
1,2,3,4,5
1,3
Do I need to do this using a report, or help column?
thanks, tons in advance,

I would suggest a nested SUBSTITUTE.
=...............SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Portfolio@row, "Rail Development & Compliance", "1"), "Network Operations - Rail", "2"), ..................
