Default Conditional formatting/non blank cells

NOT ISBLANK($E$2)

Use
=$E$2<""

Two double quotes without anything in between to represent blank.
Or use =ISBLANK($E$2)

Be careful with absolute references if you are going to use this over
multiple cells.

Hello,
(Excel 2007) I am trying to format a cell based on another cell being "non
blank". I thought the non blank formula was "<" but it's not working, e.g.
=$E$2="<"
This =$E$2="" works for blank cells but I need it to be "non blank".
Thank you for your help,
Caroline
