Conditional Formatting for alternate client refs
I have multiple rows, each with a client ref in column A (in the format:
B01234) - the data is sorted in ascending order by column A. I would like to define some conditional formatting, so that alternate client refs are either yellow or white - where a client ref is repeated, the rows are to be one colour. For example, if rows 2-5 relate to client ref B01234, I want all the rows to be yellow. If rows 6-7 relate to another client, I want the rows to be white. Then if row 8 was yet another client, the row should be yellow again. Any ideas what I should enter into the conditional formatting prompt? |

Conditional Formatting for alternate client refs
Select all the cells that you want colored, except the first row of
data (i.e. from row 3 and down). FormatConditional Formatting Formula Is: =$A3<$A2 Set the condition to yellow.

Conditional Formatting for alternate client refs
I don't think this does what is required: it doesn't colour all cells for a
given client. "vezerid" wrote: Select all the cells that you want colored, except the first row of data (i.e. from row 3 and down).

Conditional Formatting for alternate client refs
I had to use a helper column (in my case column C) with :
=INT(SUM(1/COUNTIF($A$2:A2,$A$2:A2))) Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and copy down column A then set CF: FormulaIs: =MOD($C2,2) and set to yellow There may (will!) be a smarter way Limited testing!
