Default IF Function in Excel

Hello, I want to write an "IF" Formula using dates and blank cells. ie if
Cell A2 is blank, use the date calculated in cell A1. However, if cell A"
has a date, then I want to capture/use that date.

I have tried <, etc, and it just doesn't like blank cells.

Please help

Thanks
Mehul
