Default conditional formatting for multiple sets of conditions

That did the trick Dave, but the ranges in question contain formulas that are
pulling data from a bunch of raw data. Is there a trick to make the
formatting take effect when the cells are not being filled in manually?

Sorry, I noticed the Num's being the same, but I did see that the values were
different. (Stupid eyes!)

Dim RngInput1 As Range
Dim RngInput2 As Range

Set RngInput1 = Intersect(Target, Me.Range("a1:a10,a20:a30"))

'do nothing

'Apply the color
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = Num

ElseIf Not (RngInput2 Is Nothing) Then
For Each myCell In RngInput2.Cells
Select Case myCell.Value

Case Is < 50: Num = 34 'blue
Case Is < 70: Num = 35 'green
Case Is < 80: Num = 36 'yellow
Case Is < 90: Num = 38 'red
End Select
If Num = 9999 Then
'do nothing
Else
'Apply the color
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = Num
End If

End If

endit:

A couple of things to watch out for.

The order is important in that "select case" structure. In your suggested code:

Case Is = "": Num = 2 'white
Case Is < 90: Num = 38 'red
Case Is < 80: Num = 36 'yellow
Case Is < 70: Num = 35 'green
Case Is < 50: Num = 34 'blue

If the value was 1, then it's less than 90 and you'd get Num = 38. The other
cases aren't even looked at.

And I changed your white fill to no fill. It may not be what you want, but I
always use no fill instead of white.
