When you say "cell" do you mean table column? And, is f8840 the column name???
I don't know what query you are attempting to execute, so can't give a more detailed example. You can use mysql's FIND_IN_SET function to search for records with a given value inside a comma-delimited string. However, since your delimiter is a dash, you would also need to replace the dash with a comma, e.g.:
SELECT *
FROM `table_name`
WHERE FIND_IN_SET(10, replace(`f8840`, '-', ',')) > 0
If you are no longer using the last CRM; then consider taking some time to normalize your schema!
