Default Is there a formula for this?

I have an Excel spreadsheet with 2 columns. The first
column has a Box number (example: 01245). The second
column has the file numbers that are in that particular
box (example: 821-873). So, in other words, box #01245
contains files 821, 822, 823, 824, etc. all the way to
873.

Obviously it's difficult to find a particular file number
if we don't know what file number range it's in. Rather
than list each file number separately (Example: first
column I would list the box number and then in the 2nd
column list the first file #, then I would go down to the
next row and list the box # again with the next file #
and so forth) in order to search for a specific file #.

Is there a formula of some kind whereby I can continue to
include the file # ranges (example: 821-873) but be able
to do a search to find one specific file number
(example: I want to find file # 846)? Is this possible
and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!
