conditional formatting to group rows with repeating entries
I've got a big list of records which I would like to group into visible
sections by colour according to a field, i.e. all rows with the same value in that field show in yellow, the next "group" showing without a background colour, then the next group in yellow again and so on- basically, a variation on the alternating coloured rows you can do with a MOD(ROW) formula. Does anyone know a conditional formatting formula solution to this? |

conditional formatting to group rows with repeating entries
Thanks Bob but there are too many values for that cell to individually
enumerate them in a Cell Value Is statement. What I need is a Formula that looks at the relevant cells and returns the rows with the same value. I tried =$B1=$B2 (the cells that match are in the B column) but this misses the final row of each group. However, perhaps I'm being too ambitious with conditional formatting....

I am not sure I get it, but can't you use
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($B2,{1,2,3,4,5,99,73},0)) changing that array of values to suit -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Smallweed" wrote in message ...
