The "FormatConditions Collection Object" in the VBE help states the
following:
Represents the collection of conditional formats for a single range.
The FormatConditions collection can contain up to three conditional
formats. Each format is represented by a FormatCondition object.
So, you can only have 3 conditional formats if you are using the
conditional formatting option via Excel. However, since you are using
VBA you can create a loop and add your logical test with corresponding
color index. This way you can create as as many "conditional formats"
as you want.
I hope this helps.
