This works for me:
#+TBLFM: $2=if(typeof(remote(table2, @@#$7)) == 12, string(""),
remote(table2, @@#$7)); E
(everything is documented here:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Formula-syntax-for-Calc.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc
)
This works too, although I'm not sure it should:
#+TBLFM: $2=if("remote(table2, @@#$7)" = "nan", string(""), remote(table2,
@@#$7)); E
HTH,
