Default Check if number in Excel

Hi,
In MS Excel, I want to check if the value in the cell above a cell is
numeric. For eg
I want a formula in Cell D8 if value in Cell D7 is numeric. How do I do
it.

Thank You.

Sincerely,

Default Check if number in Excel

in a worksheetfunction the function would be isnumber(). In vba the
function is isnumeric().
They both return true or false depending on whether the data is a
number
