I need to conditional format a table with 3 rotating colors of yellow,
green and blue. The condition to change the color is when the code
changes.
A B C D
1 B12 XXX XXX Yellow
2 B12
3 C26 Green
4 C26
5 C26
6 D52 Blue
7 E27 Yellow
8 E27
9 E27
10 E27
11 G49 Green
12 G49
13 H96 Blue

May I know what are the formulas 1, 2 and 3 in order for me to get the
result ?

One way is to use a helper column.

For example, start by putting 0 (zero) in E1.

Then put something like this in E2
=IF(A2="",-1,IF(A2=A1,E1,MOD(E1+1,3)))
and copy down as far as the list might ever reach.

This gives numbers 0, 1, and 2 for the three different row colors. I put in
the -1 presuming that rows after the end of the list are supposed to have
no color.

The helper column can be hidden (or kept out of the print range) to avoid
clutter.

Modify to suit.
