Convert yes/no multiple choice to numerical value?

Question

Is there a way to convert text into numerical values?  What I am trying to do is have several fields where the choices can either be yes, no or NA.  I want each of these to assign a numerical value.for example:field one: yes = 30, n = 0, na = 30field two: yes = 30, n = 0, na = 30field three:  yes = 40, n = 0, na = 40Then I want a field at the end which gives the percentage ... so if field 1 was yes, field 2 was no and field 3 was yes the score would be 70%.  Attached a mockup screenshot of what I mean.  Thanks.

No problem, you can make a formula numeric field set to display as a percentage and do the calculations all in one field.

var number FieldOneScore = Case([Field One],
"yes",30,
"n",0,
"na",30);

var number FieldTwoScore = Case([Field Two],
"yes",30,
"n",0,
"na",30);

var number FieldThreeScore = Case([Field Three],
"yes",40,
"n",0,
"na",40)

($FieldOneScore + $FieldTwoScore + $FieldThreeScore) / 100
