Default Need a total for column

Why not simply use the following:
=IF(ISERROR(A3*F3),0,(A3*F3))

Given that column F "may" contain a Text value which can't be multiplied and
would result in an Excel display of "#VALUE!", simply use a constant formula
which if it results in an Excel error, return a fixed value, here I've used a
value of zero if the multiplication return an error, otherwise it will return
the product of the 2 cells indicated

Thanks for your help -
