Can anyone tell me how I can I put a value in cell $row$20 where row is the
row with "Summary" in the first column and the column is 20

This will do what you want I think

Sub FindSummary()
Dim rRng As Range
Set rRng = Range("A:A").Find("Summary")
If rRng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Summary not found"
Exit Sub
End If
rRng.Offset(0, 20).Value = 12345
End Sub

Try this:
sub summary()
for i = 1 to activesheet.usedrange.rows.count
if range("A" & i) = "Summary" then
range(20, i) = "My Value"
end if
next
end sub

Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
Dim res as Variant, lRow as long
set rng = Range("A1:A1000")
res = Application.Match("Summary",rng,0)
if not iserror(res) then
set rng1 = rng(res)
lRow = rng1.Row
cells(lRow,20).Value = "a Value"
End If
