What I mean is the "sweetness" equivalencies. Like, how much honey do I use in a recipe to equal the sweetness the same amount of honey.

For example, if a recipe tells me I need 1 cup of sugar & I choose to use honey instead, how much honey do I use to equal the sweetness of the cup of sugar called for? Can you give me a little chart that I can refer to whenever I want to substitute one for the other?

Also, the same thing goes for stevia powder compared to sugar. Can you give me a little equivalencie chart?

probably you can use the same amount of sugar and honey
and vice versa,however with stevia everything changes ,simply because stevia is more concentraded ,probably as 300 times than sugar,here is condense article ,and more information in the links source bar;
As a sweetener, stevia's sweet taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or liquorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Stevia also has shown promise in medical research for treating such conditions as obesity and high blood pressure Stevia has negligible effect on blood glucose, therefore it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets. However, health and political controversies have limited stevia's availablility in many countries; for example, the United States banned it in the early 1990s. Stevia is widely used as a sweetener in Japan, and it is now available in the US and Canada as a dietary supplement, although not as a food additive.
250x sweetness (by weight) the herbal sweetener stevia
Steviol glycosides
Main article: Steviol glycoside
These sweet glycosides found in the stevia plant Stevia rebaudiana bertoni have 40-300 times the sweetness of sucrose. The two primary glycosides, stevioside and rebaudioside A, are used as natural sweeteners in many countries. These glycosides have steviol as the aglycone part. Glucose or rhamnose-glucose combinations are bound to the ends of the aglycone to form the different compounds

Honey and Sugar is Same.

Stevia powder is 100% different from those two. No glucose and calorie.
