Default Formatting Alternating Rows with a Color

Good point.


Thanks, Gord

This formula comes unhinged if there are any blank rows. Adjust the range to
the start of the data and make sure the data is continuous if this fails.

Pete's formula won't survive through filtering if you intend to do any.

This will keep alternate row colors even when filtering.

=MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0

Use Conditional Formatting, with a Formula like:

=MOD(ROW(),2)=1

then set the background colour (Patterns tab) to grey.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Is there a macro or quick way to highlight alternating rows in color? For
example, row 1 would be gray, row 3 would be gray, row 5 would be gray, etc.

Thanks.
