Default How do I use a wildcard in an excel formula?

I am try to have an if command search a row of data and then print 1 if it
matchs and a 0 if it doesn't. However the data is a long string of numbers
that can be identified after reading the first 3. So instead of having to
type it all out I'd like it to do something like.

=if(a1=910*,1,0)

the * meaning anything after 910 that matches, so if a1 is 910111564 or
910465465 it will return 1, but if it is 911(anything) it will return a 0

Thanks
