=FIND("B",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"B",CHAR(160),1))

Note that CHAR(160) is simply a non-printable character rarely used in
normal usage. The formula replaces the first instance of desired letter, and
then finds the 2nd instance. Alternatively:

=FIND(CHAR(160),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"B",CHAR(160),2))

Could be used, if you want to control which instance of the letter to find
(by simply changing the last arguement)
