I would like a cell to change color when a range of other cells all have a
value entered.
The cell I want to automatically format has the Sum function for a range of
cells in it. When the range of cells that are being being used for the Sum
function all have a value entered I would like the cell with the Sum to
change either background color or font color. Is there an easy way to do this?

Let's assume A1 contains the formula =SUM(B1:B10)

Select cell A1
Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting
Select the Formula Is option
Enter this formula in the box on the right:
=COUNT(B1:B10)=ROWS(B1:B10)
Click the Format button
Select the desired style(s)
OK out

It didn't seem to work for me. Here is the formula in the cell I would like
to change the format of if all other cells have a value.
=IF(SUM(Q4:AH4)=1,SUM(Q4:AH4),"")

Ok, try this:

=COUNT(Q4:AH4)=COLUMNS(Q4:AH4)
