    Cells that contain certain characters

    I need help with creating a formula that will return a 1 if "(A)" are in the string.

    The string will be something like this: San Diego (A)

    There will be a list of 30 names. Some will have the (A) while the rest will have (N).


    Thanks for any help.

    How about
    =COUNTIF(A2:A13,"*(A)*")
