excel "" in function

[Guest]

I am using an =if function as follows: =IF(E8>"",C8*D8,"")

Right now the formula only works if E8 contains a letter, I would like it
to work for a letter AND a number but cannot figure out how.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why not

=IF(E8<>"",C8*D8,"")

Here is one way, =IF(ISBLANK(E8),"",C8*D8)

Assuming you mean if E8 is NOT blank/empty

=IF(E8<>"",C8*D8,"")

otherwise I don't know what you mean by E8 greater than ""

Try =IF(E8<>"",C8*D8,"")

Which means "not equal" rather then "greater than"
