Actually, you don't even need to use IF:

=LEN(A1)LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",""))

will return TRUE if A1 contains / or FALSE if it doesn't.

Hope this helps,

I am hoping I can evaluate whether a specific character is present in the
text of a cell using an If function.

For example if I test for a forward-slash in a cell containing the text
abc/def I want a TRUE result but in a cell containing the text abcdef I want
a FALSE result.

Is this possible?
