Default Value type

There is no way to tell if the cell value is a date (at least not full
proof)
an excel date is a number so you can test for ISNUMBER and ISTEXT thus the
IS functions are the way to go

=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),"do this","do that")

The IS command does not perform the function needed as there must be
another way of working it out.
