Hello all,

I was wondering whether it is possible to specify multiple conditions for a conditional format in Excel 2007. More specifically, having a "OR" clause in the conditions

So as an example, to turn a cell blue, cell must contain "Peter" OR "Daniel" OR "Matthew".

Is it possible to do such a thing?

Many thanks in advance.
