SEARCH will return the starting position number of the search criteria. Is
that what you want?

How about posting several representative samples of your data so we can what
you're trying to do.

Is it possible to use the Search (or Find) function to find a number in a
text string?
eg SEARCH(CODE(<57),A1)
This doesn't work, but hopefully it gives an idea of what I'm after.
Ideally, I'd like:
SEARCH(CODE(48 to 57),A1)
Possible?
