Hi,
I would like to have rows shaded only if a certain number on a row changes:
So, if the data was like the following:

50772 JONE RON 355-FT-DR
50772 JONE RON 355-FT-DR
50772 JONE RON 355-FT-DR
50772 JONE RON 355-FT-DR
19780 ASSETT JAMES 25-FT-DR
19780 ASSETT JAMES 25-FT-DR
19780 ASSETT JAMES 25-FT-DR
19780 ASSETT JAMES 25-FT-DR
19780 ASSETT JAMES 25-FT-DR
100156 BEVIS SHAWN 25-FT-DR
100156 BEVIS SHAWN 25-FT-DR

rows 1-4 and 10-11 would be shaded, skipping the rest. I have about 250
lines in total with this kind of arrangement.
I have been reading about conditional formatting, and have some ideas, but
not quite there yet! Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric in FL
