Hello,

Is there a macro or quick way to highlight alternating rows in color? For
example, row 1 would be gray, row 3 would be gray, row 5 would be gray, etc.

Thanks.

Use Conditional Formatting, with a Formula like:

=MOD(ROW(),2)=1

then set the background colour (Patterns tab) to grey.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Select the rows you want to format in this way then

Format|Conditional Format
Select formula is and enter the formula
=MOD(ROW(),2)=1

Pick your colour
Click OK

Pete's formula won't survive through filtering if you intend to do any.

This will keep alternate row colors even when filtering.

=MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0

This formula comes unhinged if there are any blank rows. Adjust the range to
the start of the data and make sure the data is continuous if this fails.
