Need a total for column
 

Need a formula that will calulate column F*A, but only if column F contains a
number and not text.

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 -

I believe I spoke to soon.

This is what I have using the IF statement. Hopefully this will help

=IF(ISNA(F1),"
",H8*$C$8+H10*$C$10+H12*$C$12+H14*$C$14+H16*$C$16+ H18*$C$18+H20*$C$20+H22*$C$22+H24*$C$24+H26*$C$26)

Each each colum b through f is to be multiplied by a then the total colum is
to be added together. The problem arises when I have text in a cell verses a
number
