    You want the cell to say "Complete" and still have a formula?
    What is the formula doing? Do you want the cell to say "Complete" when A1 contains something but something else when the formula triggers?

    as you have excel 2007
    you can use conditional formatting
    use the use a formula option
    put =a1<>""
    choose format pick the number tab
    choose custom
    set custom as "complete" including quotes
