I know how to format every other row for different colors, but can Excel
leave every other row blank?

Blank? Not with a conditional format. You could change the font color to
be the same as the background color and it would appear blank, but wouldn't
be blank. You'd have to use VBA to get every other row blank.

Not by formatting.

Why would you want this feature?

If just for appearance, just select a great gaggle of rows and set the height to
double what it is now.

Or select a great gaggle of rows and FormatConditional FormatFormula is

=MOD(ROW(),2)=1

Format to white font and the rows will look blank.
