Conditional formats using more than 3 conditions

[Guest]

Using Conditional formatting, I can only create up to three conditions. Can
I use formulas or VB code to exceed three conditions?

Thanks.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

You can use conditional formatting to generate 3 *_formats_*.
Add that to the basic format setting on the cell, and it gives you a total
of 4.
With a VB event procedure you can have as many formats as you want.

But the number of *_conditions_* is another matter.
Imagine you want to turn the cell green if any one of 5 conditions are met.

You would do:
Formula is
=OR(condition1,condition2,condition3,condition4,condition5)

condition1 might be something like
B2="hello"

does that help?
