Only one background colour can be applied to a cell.

Hope this helps.

you can have 2 or more font colors in a cell but text only. not numbers or
fomulas.

With Excel 2007 you could use Format -- Cells -- Fill and use the "Fill
Effects" option to set a cell to use shading with one color for the upper
half and a second color for the bottom half. But there is not a well-defined
border between the 2 colors; one fades into the other.

This feature is not available in Excel 2003 and earlier versions.

If you likeyou can try another workaround by merging adjacent cells.

Thanks alot JLatham. This really helps. The Shading is a bit annoying,
