    XL 2003: Can conditional formatting go past 4 conditions to N?

    Hi

    I have been asked to colour code a row within Excel 2003 based on a number between 1 and 9 in the first column.

    Can you have more then 4 conditions in Excel 2003 i.e.
    A1 = 1, cell is red
    A1 = 2, cell is green
    .
    .
    A1 = 9, cell is 9th different colour

    If this is possible, can you conditionally format a range within the row i.e.

    A1 = 1, then A1:A10 are red
    A1 = 2, then A1:A10 are green

    Hope you can help.

    Chris
