Default If formula and text search

Normally you set up as A1 = 1, 'value if true', 'value if false'.

Can you set one up such that A1= "Text" if A1 contains "Text is a value"
I've tried entering A1="Text*" I thought maybe a wildcard, but how can I get
my formula to return the true value withough altering my A1 cell that says
"Text is a value".

Any help would be appreciated.

Jason
