How do I get WingZ to return a user-specified value (say 8.75) if it
finds a text string (say B+) in a given cell? The IF(condition,x,y)
function specified in the manual only handles numbers, not text
strings.

My problem is that I have a bunch of letter grades that I need to
compute averages for. Any ideas will be appreciated (yes, I know there
are programs out there that will do just this, but I would rather
stick with WingZ - if Lotus 123 can do it, why can't WingZ!).

Thanks in advance,

Sunil.
