a formula can't make a cursor move to another column. it can only
work within the cell that the formula is in. you are asking for code,
but what you have written is a formula.

if you want the VBA code for such a scenario, it would be something
like this (although your description is not very specific and i don't
know if it have understood you correctly):

if worksheet("Sheet1").range("a2").value = "" then
worksheet("Sheet1").range("a2").value = "=Sheet1!B2+Sheet2!B2"
else
worksheet("Sheet1").range("a3").select
end if

but that only does it once. you'd have to set a range and then do a
For Each Next loop to go through the range cell by cell.
hope that gets you started.
