See attached.

This is the formula in cell O2

=IFS(

AND(ISNUMBER(M2),ISNUMBER(Q2)),"Yes",

AND(ISNUMBER(M2),ISBLANK(Q2)),"No",

AND(ISBLANK(M2),ISBLANK(Q2)),""

)

 

Note that this is an IFS function, which handles multiple conditions very easily. This means you could add more combinations, more consequences, just be spelling them out.

 

I also use Data Validation to make sure there are numbers, or a date, in columns M and Q respectively.
