Can Excel recognize multiple numbers within a cell in regards to formulas? I can use the "IF" formula to tell Excel that if there is a number 1 in A1, to place an "X" in B1 and if there is a number 2 in A1, place an "X" in C1. How do I get Excel to recognize both a 1 AND a 2 in A1 so that B1 AND C1 both get "X"'s? Is this possible?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
If a1 has a value of 12345
You want it b1 and c1 to have an x.
What if a1 has a value of 1345?
Do you want b1 and c1 to be blank?

If the number was "12345", I would want B1 and C1 blank. However, If the cell contained "12345, 1, 2" I would want them to have an X.
