would someone take a look at this and let me know if there is a
shorter method? I only want to change the color on every other row
from Column A to O...
I just modified a 'select every other row' code someone posted here.
This works, but I thought maybe it could be cleaned up a bit.

ok, here's the code...

x = 1

strCol = "A"

If x = 2 Then
strCol = "B"

strCol = "C"
Else
If x = 4 Then
strCol = "D"
Else
If x = 5 Then

I would suggest going to

and downloading andrews add ins

select the columns first (A-O)
