Are you selecting a *range* BEFORE you click into "Conditional Formatting"?

Are you choosing a *pattern* color AFTER you enter your formula?

I am trying to do the same thing but when I enter either:

=MOD(ROW(),2)=0 or =MOD(ROW()-Rw,N*2)+1N

Into the conditional formatting box, nothing happens. I can go back
into conditional formatting and it will say Formula is =MOD(ROW(),2)=0
or =MOD(ROW()-Rw,N*2)+1N with my settings.

Help!
