If you are addressing someone you are not on familiar terms with, in other words, someone you are only acquaintances with, or total strangers, or someone who is your superior in some way (at work, or in age is superior to you), then you would say it formally:

"Wie geht es Ihnen?"

Which, translated, means, "How goes it with you?", or, "How are you doing?"

If you are speaking with close friends, or children, or pets, or in a casual way, it is all right to use the informal, which goes:

"Wie geht's?"
