Formula Value based on record type

Hi all,
I want to create a formula field that based on the record type inserts a text value.
so if my record type equals 1 or 2 I want the text to display as A, if my record type is 3 or 4 I want the text to display as B, if my record type is 5 or 6 I want the text to display C, if my record type is 7 I want my text to display D, if my record type is 8 I want the text to display E

Thanks in advance!

I think there may be a syntax error.

Try this: 
CASE($RecordType.Name, 
"1", "A", 
"2", "A", 
"3", "B", 
"4", "B", 
"5", "C", 
"6", "C", 
"7", "D", 
"8", "E"
"NA")
If it still doesn't work, can you please describe in detail the results?

Thanks,
Parker

Thanks Nayana. Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Is there another way that might work for this formula field? Thanks!
