Default Please Help Wth Cell shading

Looking at a large spread sheet full of data can become hard on the eyes.
Is there a way to alternate the colors or shading of each row permanenatly
so the shading does not move or change once the rows of data are moved or
sorted ?

Many thanks

Hi Joe,

Use conditional formatting with a formula condition like:

=MOD(ROW(),2)=0
