=FIND("5",$A92)>0

I am using this formula but it highlights every number that has 5 in it. I want it to highlight only if the number begins with 5. I tried to use 5* it still did not work, what am I doing wrong.

thanks

Thank you to both of you, but these formula did not work, may be because the string in A1 is text.
here is an example.

415020-Contract Income - Private
540010-Facilities & Admin (F)
411010-Contract & Grant Rev Exchange
411010-Contract & Grant Rev Exchange
411010-Contract & Grant Rev Exchange
411030-Contract Indirect Cost
540010-Facilities & Admin (F)
411010-Contract & Grant Rev Exchange

Thanks
