How do I shade alternate rows in excel 2000

You can use conditional formatting...

Highlight the section you want to have alternating bands.
Select Format - Conditional Formatting...
Add this formula
=mod(row(), 2) = 0
Now select the desired highlighting shade using Format - Patterns
Select Ok

HTH...

Select the cells/rows you want to apply this format to. Goto Format,
conditional format. Select "Formula is" from first box. Input:

=MOD(ROW(),2)

Select desired shading color, and hit 'ok'.

If you won't be filtering the data use the other suggestions.

If you will be filtering use this formula in CFFormula

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

BUT ALL THOSE ANSWERS GIVEN UNDER THIS HEAD COLOURS THE ENTIRE SHEET WITH ONE
COLOUR AND THE OTHER REMAINS WHITE. WHAT SHOULD I DO, IF I WANT TO FORMAT
WITH TWO SEPERATE COLOURS ?? (I TRIED THE SAME WITH ADDITION OF THE
CONDITION IN CONDITIONAL FORMATING AND THE SAME FORMULA, BUT IT DOEN NOT
WORK) WHY ??

Condition1 =MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0 format as red

Condition2 =MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=1 format as green

You were perfectly clear.

Select rows 1 to 100 then FormatConditional Formatting

Condition1Formula is =MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0 one color

Add............

Condition2Formula is =MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=1 another color

You will get alternating row colors down to row 100.

one color
another color
one color...........same as row 1
another color...........same as row 2
etc.
