    IF...CONTAINS...THEN-link from another sheet

    SOLVED

    Hi everybody.
    I am trying to use an IF...CONTAINS...THEN formula.
    So far this formula can search for "A" in cell G7 in the same sheet and return "1" or nothing: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("A",G7)),"1","")

    I want to be able to change the G7 cell for a cell in another sheet or workbook. I wrote this formula to return a result from cell C20 in the SUMMARY TABLES worksheet, but its wrong:
    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("A",'SUMMARY TABLES'!$C$20))"1","")

    What corrections should I do to make it work?

    Thank you!!

    You're missing a comma between the close bracket and "1"
