Perfect. I don't pretend to understand the syntax in the logic (one of my
weak areas) but it works a treat.

Nearly forgot to change the 'formula=' box!

Whoops mod that just a little...
Change to formula is:
=OR(F3="L",F3="S")
Change "F3" to the first cell in your range

How about =OR(="L",="S")?

I've already used up my quota of three conditional formats so I need to
combine these into just one.

I've tried

="L" OR "S"

and

="L" OR = "S"

Am I on the wrong track or is this possible?
