A2""
B2""

That test results in a False answer if the cell contains a number (stored as
a number). Don't imagine that is the intent.

maybe A2<"" , B2<""

Or, if you don't want to use a macro.

=IF(A2"","y",IF(B2"","z",""))

Put it in C2 and copy down.

I have a macro that fills a range(column-a) with dates. the number of

the macro then fills column-b with a lookup value from a range in the

formula in col C beginning one row below the first date and going
through the end of the dates. So if column a1-a10 has dates I want to
put the formula in cells c2-c10.
I am not sure how to test for cell in column a (or b) is greater than""
