    I see two things here. First, you did not use a parenthesis after IF or a second set of closing parenthesis before the double quotes. Second, when multiplying, you do not need to use the SUM function. Use this revised formula:

    =IF(ISERROR(E9*F9),"",E9*F9)

    Try this:
    =IF(ISERROR(your_formula),"",your_formula)

    And another detail in your formula is that you don't need the SUM formula as you are not summing anything. The SUM formula should not give you any trouble if you for some reason like to put it there.

    =SUM(A1*A2) is the same as =A1*A2
