Default Data conversion: Text to Numeric to Support Averaging

I have a mix of grades (academic achievement) in numeric (98, 86, etc.) and
text
(A, B+, etc.) format that I need to average for a final grade. While I can
use LOOKUP variants to display the text as numeric, I have yet to figure out
how to manipulate the text so it can be AVERAGEd with the numeric data. I am
not totally new to Excel; however, I figured there are smarter folks in the
community that may have already wrestled this issue into a solution.
Congratulations! Please share your results...thank you!
