    Presence of non-numeric character in a cell

    I have a row of values and I want to enter a formula that provides a simple TRUE or FALSE value for the presence of a non-numeric character, specifically a "/". Can anyone provide a formula to assist?

    Perhaps
    Formula: copy to clipboard
     =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("/",a1))


    If you have other characters let us know

    =COUNTIF(X99,"*/*")=0 or more generally =COUNT(-X99)=0.
