I have a spreadsheet question?

What formula would I use to find a common number within multiple cells of a large Excel® spreadsheet?

Update:

I am dealing with a large spreadsheet of 100+ cells with several category columns and many random numbers. I am trying to determine if there is one common matching number, or several common numbers, throughout the entire spreadsheet. In other words, I am trying to identify a common pattern with multiple categories.

    Can you provide more detail? If you are just trying to locate a number, MATCH might do it:

    A B

    n MATCH(7,A2:A5,0)

    1 4

    3

    5

    7
