OK...Now that you know the process...try something like this in the condition
statement:

Formula is: =ISEVEN(CEILING(ROW()/3,1))
That will band alternating groups of 3.

Play with it until it does what you want.

Per usual, post back with questions.

Does that help?

Thanks, that's a great site.
What I want to do is shade 3 rows, skip 3 rows. It doesn't show me how to do
that. Or maybe I just missed it.
I will save the site though. It seems to offer a lot of help.

Hi
I'd like to use alternate shading for 3-row sections. How do I do this?
