Default conditional formatting:highlight row based on blank or non-blank c

Does anyone know if, and how, is possible to use Conditional Formatting
feature to automatically highlight the whole row if a specific cell in that
row is non-blank (or blank)?
Thank you!

Hi,

Say the row is row 2 and the cell to be checked for blank is C2
- Select the entire row
- menu Format COnditional FOrmat. the dialog pops-up.
- choose "Formula Is" in the first drop down, then enter the formula:
=($C2="")
- click the Format button to select a format when the cell is blank
- ok

Thank you Sebastien!
And how do you denote a NON-BLANK cell inside a formula?
(I guess the way to tell a formula to look for a BLANK cell is "", right?)
Thank you so much!
