Can I use conditional sections in VBA number formats

I like the ability to use conditions, such as [<100], or colours, such as [Red], in custom number formats in cells.

But can I use these, or an equivalent, using Format in VBA?

My current requirement is something like this:
Code:
shtCalendar.Cells(rt, cPlace) = shtEvents.Cells(r, cEventPlace) & Chr(10) & Format(shtEvents.Cells(r, cEventTime), "[=0]""Midnight"";[=0.5]""Noon"";h.mm am/pm")

Using other forms within the format expression, such as \N\o\o\n, or "[=0]" & Chr(34) & "Midnight" ..., don't help.

Is it something that Format does not cater for?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Here is a way to format the cell by VBA ...

Code:
Range("A:A").NumberFormat = "[Red][<=100];[Blue][>100]"

Try
- recording a macro as you number format a cell manually and tailoring the recorded macro to what you want

No, it doesn't, but you could use Application.Text instead.

Ah. Thank you, Rory.
Replace Format(... in my code with WorksheetFunction.Text(...

Works great.
