Converting text to numerical values with generate attributes

Good morning
I am trying to generate a new column in the file using the generate attribute operator. This new column would take the text in the serviciointernet column and replace these text strings with numerical values. For example, a "no" would be replaced with a 0, DSL with a 5, and fibraoptica with a 10. 
I am quite clumsy when it comes to programming and am getting stuck.
Any help would be very welcome

    Hi,
    did you try to use the Map operator? That one should make it easier.

    Cheers,
    Martin
