Put a date after checking that another cell is not empty using a macro in an excel report

One day I needed a macro to fill up automatically all empty cells of a column with a date but not before to check in another column, that the cells are not empty and of course, if the cells are empty, do nothing.

When I use the macro ?

To fill the cell with a date once checking that another cell is not empty.

How is the macro ?

Copy the code below and paste it into your macro. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.

Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
' starting to check from row 2
i = 2
With ActiveSheet
' change the column number 1 (column A) by the column number to check if the cell is empty or not
' change11 by the number of row to check
Do While (Cells(i, 1).Value <> "") And (i < 11)
' change the column number 2 (column B) where to put the date
Cells(i, 2) = Int(DateSerial(Year(Date), Month(Date), Day(Date)))
i = i + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
