Does anyone know of a way to create a column coloring rule for a condition like this?

Code:

formats:#=1 and formats:pdf

The following doesn't work:

Code:

Set the color of All Columns to (red) if the following conditions are met:
  - If the Formats column has value: #=1
  - If the Formats column has value: pdf

Note: I actually want three conditions, like this:

Code:

(formats:#=1 and formats:pdf) or formats:false

but as far as I know, I can only add an "OR" condition by adding a separate rule, for example:

Code:

Set the color of All Columns to (green) if the following conditions are met:
  - If the Formats column has value: epub

Set the color of All Columns to (green) if the following conditions are met:
  - If the Formats column has value: mobi

Also, is there a way to use column coloring to mark books which do not have any ebook format, even though they may have other formats such as a LNK, MP3, etc.?
