I am making a chart for children and they get a certian amount of money for
each smiley face they get. I want to know how to make a smiley face equal a
certian amount of money so it is easy to add up at the end of the row. if you
dont understand what I am asking please let me know because I would like an
answer asap. Thanks!!

=TEXT(COUNTIF(A2:F2,"J")*0.25,"$0.00")

The upper case J in Wingding font is the smiley face.........
The 0.25 represents 25 cents per smily face......
The A2:F2 is the assemed range of your cells.........
