Hi, i have document numbers in column "A", all like numbers must be the
same color e.g.

rows 1, 2, 3, 4 white then 5 grey, 6 white, 7 & 8 grey etc..

I would like to do this with code as the length of data is variable and
automatically created..

The free Excel add-in "Shade Data Rows" will shade by cell value.
It shades the selection or across entire sheet.
It will also shade by every nth row or every group of n rows.
Choice of any color.

I have found the following code on goggle which changes every alternate
row color. Can somebody help me change it to my requirements ??

Sub test()
Dim rngToColour As Range
Dim varLastValue As Variant
Dim intColour1 As Integer
Dim intColour2 As Integer
Dim intCurrentColour As Integer
Dim LstRow As Long
intColour1 = 2
intColour2 = 3
intCurrentColour = intColour1
LstRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngToColour = Sheet1.Range("A2:P" & LstRow)
varLastValue = rngToColour.Value(1, 1)
Do While rngToColour.Value("A2:P" & LstRow) < ""
rngToColour.Interior.ColorIndex = intCurrentColour
If rngToColour.Value("A2:P" & LstRow) < varLastValue Then
If intCurrentColour = intColour1 Then
intCurrentColour = intColour2
Else
intCurrentColour = intColour1
End If
varLastValue = rngToColour.Value(1, 1)
End If
Set rngToColour = rngToColour.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
End Sub

The xlsweetspot guy says: "Here are some codes that should work without
modification. You just have to decide what column/cell should be used
as the starting point. The code will do the rest."

Sub ColorWhenValueChange()
'The xlsweetspot guy would would do it this way.
Dim strActiveAddress As String 'Use this to track single cell position
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Do While Len(ActiveCell.Value) < 0 ' This will run until a row is
blank.
strActiveAddress = ActiveCell.Address
' Compare the values in the current cell with the one above
If ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Value Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Offset(-1, 0).Copy
ActiveCell.EntireRow.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Else
If ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Else
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
End If
Range(strActiveAddress).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub

There is also a row coloring product at xlsweetspot.com that might
solve some concerns.

Good Luck,

Sweet, thanks a lot works great, just did a small modification.

If ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
Else
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
