Default Ignore calculation if text

We have a VLOOKUP fetching prices for various options.
On one option the user has to ask for a specific price.
This means that in our price list we have the text "ASK" against one option.

When the VLOOKUP retrieves a price, we multiply by the exchange rate.
Excel doesn't want to calculate ASK x 0.7.

How can we calculate unless the cell contains ASK in which case it just
returns "ASK"?

=IF(D4<"",VLOOKUP(D4,data!A4:B33,2,FALSE))*I4

I4 is exchange rate
