Can anybody tell me other limitations of formula that can be absorbed in a
conditional format window wherein a cell change color based on logical
conditions (e.g. 7 "IF"s,), search functions like lookups, etc....please give
awareness...

In general you can use any formula that returns a TRUE/FALSE result, although
there are some limitations, e.g. you can't directly refer to other
worksheets, or use Analysis ToolPak functions are use array constants like
{1,2,3}.

Do you have a specific need?

tks for the reply...I do need this in my work...Cost vs Date vs Quantity of
our project scheduling that must re-adjust every month upon encoding of
current quantity and remaining quantity, that will be distributed within a
re-adjusted Date of finish. The colors must cope up with the adjusted dates
as well as if the actual qty. has been consumed completely, and the cost as
well <these 3 has 2 conditions each in order to change the cell
color/borders based on a legend that will be printed for project's monthly
presentation. This is a one sheet of excel.
