It only let's me set 6 conditons but I have a spreadsheet with over 10
conditions that I want to show so using conditional formatting at all becomes
a problem if I can't highlight all 10 conditions anyway. Is there any way to
add more than the default of 6 as a maximum?

You have 6 conditions. That is 3 more than anyone else <vbg.

You could try event code, such as


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
Case 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
Case 3: .Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'blue
Case 4: .Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'green
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Thanks Bob.

The 6 was a typo by me! Sorry, I did mean 3! Obviously, that's the maximum
allowed....

I will try the event code you referred to. Thanks for you input.
