It appears that conditional formatting is limited to only three conditions. Is there a way around this

Thanks.
 
Hi
conditional format only accepts 3 conditions though you have a fourth
if you include the default format.

If you only want to apply different FONT colors based on NUMBERS, you
can define up to 6 different styles. See:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/conditional6.html
for instructions how to do it

For everything else you'll need VBA code (e.g. process the
worksheet_change event and apply your format based on the cell values).
The following will color the entry in cell A1:A100 based on its value:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo CleanUp:
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case "Red": .Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case "Blue": .Interior.ColorIndex = 10
'etc.
End Select
End With
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
