conditional formatting COLOR - pale green
I have only recently started using conditional formatting. I used this formula: =MOD(ROW(),3)=0 which highlights every 3rd row, but... I can't figure out how to use a formula to highlight 3 rows & leave one blank. I want to use pale green highlights. I know I can "back into" it by making the whole worksheet highlighted in pale green, like the old IBM paper printouts, and using no fill to have an un-highlighted row, but I'm trying to find out how to use formulas to have multiple rows highlighted. Ideally, I'd like to be able to have 3 rows green, 2 rows normal. Any suggestions? Please help if you can. Thanks!

Using the same formula, you can write:
=MOD(ROW()-1,5)<3 That will be TRUE for 3 rows and FALSE for the next 2. Hope this helps, Miguel. "LTUser54" wrote: I have only recently started using conditional formatting.
