You can try

checkbox_elem = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[contains(@value, '4845') or contains(@id, '4845')]")
if not checkbox_elem.is_selected():
    checkbox_elem.click()

This works but there is one problem, let's say i'm looking for "0440", then what happens is that 2 checkboxes gets selected which are: value="N070624402|H" and value="N070840440|H" What i need is only the second because it must look only for the last 4 digits – lungimiranza Apr 04 '22 at 10:46
Does the value always end with "|H"? In that case you can use "0440|H" when searching for the matching checkboxes. – juhat Apr 04 '22 at 10:56

To click() on the checkbox that contains 4845 in the Value you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using css_selector:

driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "tr[id^='tr'][id$='4845'] td > input[value*='4845']").click()

Using xpath:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//tr[starts-with(@id, 'tr') and contains(@id, '4845')]//td/input[contains(@value, '4845')]").click()
