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.

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
