Is there a formula to calculate the number of possible isomers? Or any strategy other than by just drawing them out?

It depends on what you are talking about. If you specifically mean "constitutional" isomers then no there is no formula that I know of. For stereoisomers however it is 2^n (n= # of chiralty centers or cis/trans atoms)
