You could use a regular expression but you'd need to know the exact format of the data you are searching for. What have you already tried?

Solution 2

There is no way .
U have to add on extra column in excel which contains unique identity in terms of rows like phone,name,address and make it read only and give filter.
U have to tell user to specify that unique identity from filter while entering data...

Hope it helps..

Solution 3

Excel provides you an 'Text to Column' option to help this kind of situations, try this by proving line breaks as the delimiter.
