I want to check if a range("a1") contains a numeric character. Example:
if A1 = "asef45adsf" then answer is True
if A1 = adjsfaff" then answer is False

Thanks!

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A1,"*"&{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}))>0, "Contains at least one numeric character, "not")

one solution

=MIN(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,MID("0123456789",ROW($A$1:$A$10),1),"")))<LEN(A1)

confirmed using ctrl+shift+enter (curly brackets appear {})

Try this function

Code:
Function IsNum(r As Range) As Boolean
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To Len(r.Value)
    If IsNumeric(Mid(r.Value, i, 1)) Then
        IsNum = True
        Exit For
    End If
Next i
End Function

then use e.g.

Code:
X=IsNum(Range("E5"))

Yep, Let me add the 5th Solution for you

=COUNT(SEARCH({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},A1))>0
