Troubleshoot:Creating a formula to convert words to a numeric value and then add them

Creating a formula to convert words to a numeric value and then add them

Hey guys,
I have a table that I put in what I want clients to do for each day of the week.
There's only three different things that I need them to do (RE, ICE, LIA).
What I'm after if a formula that will add up what my clients are doing for the week.
The values are:
RE= 3
ICE= 2
LIA= 0.5
 
Here's a pic of the spreadsheet if that makes things more clear.

It's not something huge but I'm typing up too many of these to be able to keep manually adding it up.
 
Thanks in advance,
PaulyR

Rick, I'm putting things on both row 9 and 10 (for am/pm)
I am assuming from the look of your table that cells I9:I10 are merged and cells I11:I12 are merged and so on down Column I.
If so, put this formula in the first merged cell (I9:I10) and copy it down...
=3*COUNTIF(B11:H12,"RE")+2*COUNTIF(B11:H12,"ICE")+COUNTIF(B11:H12,"LIA")/2
