Google Sheets Array Error using Or asterisk

I have the below array which is checking multiple cells for conditions. However I am receiving an error when column H has a value in it and the value contains letters.

=ArrayFormula(if(A:A="","", if(row(A:A)=1,"Cert Generated?",
if(H:H="","N/A",
if((AF:AF=""*+H:H<>""),"No","Yes")))))

I receive the error "Function MULTIPLY parameter 2 expects number values. But ‘P02269895’ is a text and cannot be coerced to a number.".

However, I am not adding/multiplying. From what I know, AND/OR statements need to use a +/* in an array.

>Solution :

replace this part of the formula

(AF:AF=""*H:H<>"")

with

(AF:AF="")*(H:H<>"")
