Default =IF formula #NAME? error

Ignore my first response. instr can only be used in VBA:

What are you trying to do? There's probably a different function.

All three of these are wrong, I can't think of a fourth:

=If(instr(A1, "test"), "Y", "N")
=If(instr(A1, "test")=-1, "Y", "N")
=If(instr(A1, "test")=True, "Y", "N")

Cell A1 contains: This is a test
