Default Value in one cell visible of another cell has anything in it

I used to know how to do this, and can't remember. I think it is a COUNTIF
function in the first cell, together with conditional formatting in the 2nd
cell, but I can't remember how to set it up.

cell A1: any text at all entered will cause cell A2: part number to be
visible.

cell A1: empty value in cell A2 remains hidden.

Default Value in one cell visible if another cell has anything in it

Thanks Gord. If I could have edited this post or deleted it I would have, I
put it in the wrong place. Thanks for the quick response!

Why do you consider this news group as "the wrong place"?
