So 307 or 936 are both ok?
=or(isnumber(find("307",a1)),isnumber(find("936",a 1)))
Will return TRUE if either 307 or 936 is in A1.
It'll return False if neither 307 nor 936 is in A1.

You could wrap it in an =if() statement if you want:
=if(or(isnumber(find("307",a1)),isnumber(find("936 ",a1))),"Has at least one,"")

hi

out of my depth with this formula, that was kindly supplied by this forum.
this was to put in helper column to isolate "307" in a group of numbers in a
cell, then use the filter to select 307. worked ok
=IF(ISERROR(FIND("307",A1)),"","incl. 307")

What I do require now is to isolate "307" and "936"

Is this something that can be grouped into one formula ?

As always, help appriciated
regards
