it was just an example

select your range and then conditional formatting.

let's say i have a5 to m170 selected
enter this as the formula
=MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A5:$A$170),2)=0
select your color and see if it works.

Thanks Gary,

I replaced your code with the one I had in conditional formating. Unless I
missed something, that code shades the entire worksheet. I'm trying keep
every other row shaded - with or without auto filter being used.

I use =MOD(ROW(),2)=1 to shade every other row in my worksheet.

When auto filter is used it will not keep every other row shaded. Often
shaded rows are together.

Is there a more flexible way so that auto filter will not affect the
shading. It looks strange when a sheet is printed.
