Conditional Format based on forumula result
Conditional Formatting allows up to 3 individual conditions (pre-Excel 2007,
unlimited or at least a lot in Excel 2007), each with its own format (click
the 'add' button). You might consider breaking your formula into two
formulas and putting each in a condition.
