Parameterized variables (optional parameter)

I want to create a parameterized variable to does something like this:

sum($1*$2)

however, I want the second parameter to be optional, so if $2 was not provided, it would just be sum($1).  I tried using an if(isnull($2)) with two separate functions, but that seems to evaluate the field passed in $2 and provided very wierd answers when i didn't pass a value in the second parameter.  Is there a QV function to test if a parameter was passed?
