=ISNUMBER(FIND("/",A1))

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("/",A1)),"true statement","false statement")

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?
