What am I do wrong here?

=IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(J12),ISNUMBER(K12)),"boy","girl")

Depends on what the formula is supposed to be doing. Can you tell us in
words what you expected the formula to do?

Try this...

=IF(AND(NOT(ISNUMBER(J12)),NOT(ISNUMBER(K12))),"bo y","girl")

Actually, for what you have described, I think this will do what you want
also...

=IF(COUNT(J12:K12)=0,"boy","girl")

I don't think that does what the OP asked for. Both cells must contain
non-numbers for it to be "boy"... your formula returns "boy" if one is a
number and one is not a number... I'm pretty sure the OP want "girl"
returned for that condition.

Logic Results
J12 K12 Results
1 2 Girl
1 A Girl
A 1 Girl
A A Boy

if J12 and K12 are not numbers then boy (True statement), girl (False
statement)

Excel tells you that there are too many arguments for the function. NOT
takes one argument, not two.

What you are trying to achieve is a different question.

You are probably right...

"if J12 and K12 are not numbers then boy (True statement), girl (False
statement)"

What if J12 is a number and K12 is not?

then false
