Default lookup or find matching number in text string

I need help with a lookup function. I have an excel spreedsheet with 5
columns. , Clerk1, Clerk2....clerk5
The clerk fields contain text & numeric values (assignment codes). This is
a general field where any text can be inputted with the numeric value. I
need a formula to search all the columns, find a particular value (ie
"15.06") and identify which clerk is working on that assignment. In this
case, I would need the formula's value to equal "Clerk2" if I was looking up
"15.06". The columns are not sorted & contain a variety/combination of text
and numbers in each cell. All the numbers will have the decimal followed by
two digits.

Col A Col B

Row1 Clerk1 Clerk2
Row2 12.07 for JS 63.07, 15.06 due TR
Row3 899.07 & 701.07 for RO 229.07-231.07

row50 23.07 TR for RO 19.07 & 11.07
