I have used the below code to get around the 3 conditional formats in excel.
But this only work when new values are entered. How do get this code to work
for values which I have already entered.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C4:IR30")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "C", "c"
icolor = 8 'light blue
Case "D", "D"
icolor = 9 'brown
Case "G", "g"
icolor = 6 'yellow
Case "H", "h"
icolor = 3 'red
Case "K", "k"
icolor = 7 'pink
Case "L", "l"
icolor = 4 'green
Case "O", "o"
icolor = 20 'light blue
Case "S", "s"
icolor = 10 'dark green
Case "C", "c"
icolor = 8 'light blue
Case "X", "x"
icolor = 15 'grey
Case Else
'Whatever '1 black, 2 white, 5 dark blue, 11 dark blue
End Select

Target.Interior.ColorIndex = icolor
End If

End Sub

This should help

Thanks Gary - This was excellent

Thanks Mike, Gary VBA code did the trick
