Default How do I create alternating row colors in excel?

Well... to use conditional formatting to color your rows, just in case you
get tired of the table stuff... and for anyone else reading this that has '07:
Select your range.
On the Home Tab, in the Styles Section, click Conditional Formatting.
Select New Rule.
Click Use a formula to determine which cells to format.
Enter the formula:
=MOD(ROW(),2)=0
click the Format button and Fill tab to set a background color of your choice.
Click OK and OK and admire your handiwork!

ms excel 07 underneath conditional formatting on the HOME tab I clicked
format as a table and there was different layouts of colors and that
worked....thanks
