Is it possible to have more than 3 conditional formats per cell. I am
creating a chart which I would like the cells to change color dependant on
the letter inserted.

You could download CFPlus add-in from Bob Phillips' site...............allows up
to 30 choices.

Or stick this in your sheet module

Option Compare Text
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Num As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim vRngInput As Variant
Set vRngInput = Intersect(Target, Range("D:D"))
If vRngInput Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo endit
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each rng In vRngInput
'Determine the color
Select Case rng.Value
Case Is = "A": Num = 10 'green
Case Is = "B": Num = 1 'black
Case Is = "C": Num = 5 'blue
Case Is = "D": Num = 7 'magenta
Case Is = "E": Num = 46 'orange
Case Is = "F": Num = 3 'red
End Select
'Apply the color
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = Num
Next rng
endit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the above into that module.

It's not possible with the built in conditional formatting tool, unless
you're using XL 2007.
