Default Finding text

Hi

I have a colum that has a ID numbers as follows

A B C D
E
1 E1234 E32185 E321
2 E8954 EC123 EE123
3 E3215 EE124 E4564

In another column in receive ID numbers say EE123 i need a formula that will
search column A and return the first ID where EE123 exists via =Mid(1,find("
") as ID are between 4-6 characters long.
So for EE123 the result would be E8954.

All help is greatly appreciated.
