Default Cypher

Good day,

No, I'm not James Bond nor am I a criminal trying to hack into the
CIA... Just wanted a hand with a simple cypher if anyone can help. I
want to be able to change a series of letters and characters into
another for a specific task...

E.g.
A,B,C = 1
F,G,H = 2
J,K,L = 3
#,$,% = 3

If I enter BHL% I want to see 1234

I tried using IF comands as shown below but I can only nest 7... is
there an array or something I can use (I am hopless with VBA so if
anyone knows an excel formual I would be grateful)????
=IF(A1="A",1,IF(A1="B",1,IF(A1="C",1,IF(A1="F",2)) ))
