Formula: if a formula contains a number, then

Hello everyone,

My goal is to display in a cell the content of cell B1 if the formula contained in cell A1 includes a 108 (the formula can be either XX*108 or XX*45, with XX being any cell).
The formula I tested is as follows:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("108",A1)),B1,0)
Unfortunately, I feel like Excel doesn't detect the 108 because it's part of a formula and doesn't appear directly in the cell.

If someone has a solution to this question, it would be a great help.

Thank you in advance,

PS: The next step, but optional, would actually be to find a formula that sums several cells in column A based on their equivalent in column B (based on the same criterion as above). But since =IF is not working, =SUM.IF is not my priority for now.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 58.0
