Answer
If I understand the question correctly, the cell will contain text which MIGHT contain one of the values you want to search for - if this is a correct understanding, then this formula will do it - this example assumes the value you are checking is in A1
=IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("375",A1))),0.5,IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("750",A1))),1,0))
