Is it possible to code a find to determine if any part of
a value is in a text for instance:

=RIGHT(cell,3) xxx123 gives 123

is it possible to just code to find 123 in a text

=FIND("123",cell)

Will this work?
=RIGHT(D4,LEN(D4)-FIND(123,D4)+1)

if instr(1,cell,"123",vbTextCompare) 0 then
msgbox "contains 123"
End if

if cell like "*123*" then
msgbox "contains 123"
End if

I guess you wanted a worksheet formula

=if(countif(cell,"*123*"),"found","not found")

is another to add to the collection.
