    Hi @William Li
    could you please explain the logic of your formula:

    example:
    why "A" and "E" change to 4
    why "C" and "Z" change to 1

    A and E's strokes are 4?? ? How did you write the letter? There is no formula can get the result you need directly.

    If its simple as you ask,

    just use 'replace' function in excel to replace the alphabets in whole sheet or Workbook..

    Hopeful it helps
