For the first question: =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"900000000")

For the second question: =IF(LEFT(A1,2)="f",LEFT(A1,2),"")

I don't understand the third question.

For the first function, you could write something similar to the following:

public function numFind(rng as range)
for each cl in rng.cells
if cl.value 900000000 then
iCount=iCount+1
end if
next
numFind = iCount
end function
