    Question Check if an exact number in a sentance in a cell is in a cell with multiple possible nbrs

    I have two cells.

    Cell A2 has: "Davis, Jeffery B XX-13 ABCD 325 ERT/YUT" without the quotations.
    Cell A3 has: "1, 2, 5, 11" without the quotations

    I want A4 to to say Yes, if that 325 in Cell A2 is in Cell A3 or No if it isn't.

    Re: Check if an exact number in a sentance in a cell is in a cell with multiple possible n

    Can the number always be found in a predictable place in the string? And how many digits can the number consist of?

    And do you still need an answer to this question, if this similar question is solved?

    I tried to make a formula, but you should add a cell on your data to identify the number.

    The Expert should have the simple formula for this problem.

    Try this formula in A4 as an array formula (Control + shift + enter)

    For Excel 2016 users, I cannot further simplify your formula for identifying a number.
    This is possible for users Excel 365/2021. Please try:
