I have tried this program and it works for the first portion of my worksheet
to about cell 390 of the 780 that I have in this sheet, but then when I
select the next cell my pull down button appears, when selecting one of the
four letter options it puts the letter in there but does not give the color
formatting I have created for that letter.
My problem is I don't know how to program VB code and I'm sure there is a
really simple way to make a pull down menu for each cell and have 4 letters
with one color designated to each letter, I just don't know how to do it.

Thanks, Greg

The only way I've found around the 3-condition limit is to write a custom VBA
macro to detect when a change in the cell(s) takes place, evaluate the new
value and set the format accordingly. You can have virtually unlimited
conditions using this method.

I'm trying to use conditional formatting in Excel but am limited to only 3.
Has anyone found a way around this?? I have 4 letters with different
background colors that I'm using and rather than copy and pasting I'm trying
to use a cell pull down but end up having to manually copy and paste one due
to the fact I'm using a default clear cell as a starting point.

Thanks, Greg
