Dual function within cell

I want a cell to calculate a value (in one cell) x rate (in another cell) unless:

I type text or a number directly into the cell. I want to be able to overwrite the cell formula as long as I type something in, but for the formula to come back and apply if I thereafter delete its contents.

Could anyone help me on how to do this?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Assuming the cells you want to multiply are B2 & C2 and the cell you want is F2,add this code to the 'code' for the sheet:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    If Target.Address = "$F$2" Then
        '
        If Target.Value = "" Then
            Target.Formula = "=B2*C2"
        End If
        
        '
        '
    End If
End Sub
