    Find Within a Cell

    Hi,

    I am tring to find a value (i.e. "30") within range of cells all of which contain numerous values separated by commas. I cannot use the vlookup with the asterisk wild card because I retriece data related number 3098 and so on...How do I specify the exact value within the cell to only the get the desired number?

    Thanks in advance!
