If the numbers are contained with other text/numbers in a cell you would not
select "entire cell contents".

e.g 12345 in a cell

Look for 234

If you have "entire cell contents" checked Find would not find 234

What does your data consist of? Spaces can be hard to see.

In an adjacent column enter =LEN(cellref) and copy down.

Is the length returned the same as your data?

Show us an example of your data.

I do not have the box checked for search entire.... Do you think this is why
I am having problems? There does not appear to be any funny characters or
spaces.

Are you searching for entire cell contents or part of cell?

Do you have any extraneous spaces if searching by whole cell?
