    Select File > Options > Formulas.

    Tick the check box "Enable iterative calculation" and set "Maximum iterations" to 1, then click OK.

    Select the range where you want the date, e.g. B2:B100.

    Enter the formula =IF(C2<>"",IF(B2<>"",B2,NOW()),"") and confirm with Ctrl+Enter to populate the entire selection.

    This will enter the date and time; if you only want the date, use TODAY() instead of NOW().
