$$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Conditional Formats on Cells
Excel (upto 2003 version) only allows 3 conditions and sometimes you can put 4th conditon (default condition-the condition that exits by default). In case you want to put more conditions then you'll have to use VBA as an alternate or upgrade to Excel 2007.

$$Excel-Macros$$ Re: Conditional Formats on Cells
Sorry, I had the 5 formats set to give me a particular color if a certain cell was blank. After the blank rows, everything turned that color because the whole rows were blank, which isn't what I was after. So, my first attempt was to have a conditon to say if the first cell in a row was blank, to not have any format color. Since I had no format specified, it wasn't recognizing my condition. Therefore, I fixed it with the following: =AND($A2<>"",$L2="") I knew that if the first cell in a row was blank, then the whole row was blank. Therefore, no formatting on that row. Otherwise, if only L2 was blank, then change the color.

Steve -- Excel 2003 is limited to 3 conditions -- since you are talking about 5 or 6 conditions, you must be working in Excel 2007, without these same limitations Probably, your 6th rule is present - but, the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager dialog is only large enough to display 5 rules ... look for the scrollbar on the Right side of the dialog -- maybe this will enable you to see your other rules - Rodney POWELL [ Microsoft MVP - Excel, 1997-2009 ] www.BeyondTechnology.com 2 8 1 - 3 7 9 - 2 0 0 0 On Apr 21, 7:56 am, Steve wrote: > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on the number of conditions you > can place on a cell?
