Answer 1

You can use IN in you sql query.

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name IN (1,2,3,4);

also try to use BETWEEN with comma as parameters.

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;

Answer 2

there is 2 diff way to do it:

select * from abc where id in ('1','2','3') etc but not in excel - maybe use notepad++

second way :)

select * from abc where (id like '1' or id like '2' or id like '3') etc
