Greater than 3 condtional formating rules in Excel

[Guest]

As the conditional formating command allows only 3 formats, is it possible to
have more than 3 conditional formats using cod?
e.g. cell a1 would display red background if cell a2 = a
cell a1 would display underlined text if cell a3 = b
cell a1 would display bold text if cell a4 = c
cell a1 would display bold italic text if cell a5 = d etc.

Thanks in advance of any help

On Error GoTo ws_exit:

'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.
