Default VLOOKUP to match substring

Hi All

Employee No.......................... Place
99440,994403,994404.............London
99442,994401,994405.............Manchester
994410..................................Leeds
994502..................................York

In above example hpw to vlookup part of string?
Each cell has multiple employee no. but i want to lookup single employee no
and it should return place.

e.g. If in above example if i vlookup "994403" then it should return London

Can I do this?

vlookup function returning appropriate value for '994410' & '994502' but not
the rest!!

I tried FIND, SEARCH functions but these to functions are for single cell
and not for array... :(:(

Thanks!
