Why it returns 1 ?
ISNUMERIC returns 1 if the value could be interpreted as a number and 0 if it couldn't. The three examples in the QOTD gave 1 as they are a minus sign, dollar sign and a decimal point, so therefore could be part of a number (-0,$0,0.0). "This" could not be regarded as being a number, so would return 0.

There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand (the world). There is no such thing as a dumb question. ― Carl Sagan
