One way ..

Put in G2:

=IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"",IF(COUNTIF(E2:F2,"Y")=2,"P" ,IF(OR(AND(E2="Y",F2="N"),
AND(E2="N",F2="Y")),"D","")))

Copy G2 down

The first part: =IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"", ...
is one way to set it up check that
both E2 & F2 are filled before evaluating any further

...
In column E I will be inputting a Y for 'Yes' and an N for 'No'
In column F the same
In column G I would like to have a formula that would do the following:

If there is a Y in E2 and a Y in F2, then insert a P in G2...
If there is a Y in E2 and an N in F2, then insert a D in G2...
If there is an N in E2 and a Y in F2, then insert a D in G2

My problem right now is I am using the formula: IF E2=F2 is True input P
in
cell G2, if False input D in cell G2.... but since I am not using values
when
E2 and F2 are blank it puts a P in G2 and I want G2 to stay blank if I did
not put anything in E2 or F2... Is this possible?
