Default Conditional cell background formatting, based on cell content


Thanks, that helped. It only applies to font color though and being
restricted to 3 sucks. Ideally I'd like to be able to change the
background color too, but I'll take what I can get. :)

Is there no way to manually create a format that will format cells, so
that I'm not limited to 3 (via conditional formatting)?

Something like
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("BE",A1:E100))) FONTCOLOR=yellow
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("UE",A1:E100))) FONTCOLOR=purple
etc
