Default sum only if a certain cell contains data

I am trying to figure out how to create a formula that will sum 2
cells only when another cell contains text or date. I have been unable
to find this within Excel. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Hi,

One way:

=IF(A1="","",B1+C1)

in simple terms:

=IF(condidion, if true, if false)
