How to create a Validation rule of both fields can be blank but both can not be filed in.

I'm trying to set up a Validation rule to show an error if both of the below fields are filled in but not if both are blank. 

or( 
and(!isblank( Strategic_Partner__c ),!ISBLANK( Reseller__c )), 
or(!ISBLANK( Reseller__c) ,!isblank( Strategic_Partner__c )) 
)

Hi Bneighbors

If you ONLY want it to error when both are filled in: 
AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK( Strategic_Partner__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK( Reseller__c )) 
)

If you want it to error when 1 or both are filled in:
  
OR( 

AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK( Strategic_Partner__c )), 
ISBLANK( Reseller__c ) 
), 

AND( 
ISBLANK( Strategic_Partner__c ), 
NOT(ISBLANK( Reseller__c )) 
), 

AND( 
NOT(ISBLANK( Strategic_Partner__c )), 
NOT(ISBLANK( Reseller__c  )) 
) 
)

       It's not  work  for  me.
       It  stores  the  value  if  two  fields  are  filled.

Thanks

Hi @dave Those should have worked but did not.  @Jega that worked and was very clean.  Thank you.  @Raj I had the result that Raj did.  
 

Thanks, everyone.
