Hi,

Click on the first cell (say A5) press Alt+O+D. In Excel 2003, select
Formula is in the drop down. In Excel 2007, press New Rule and select the
last rule type. In the formula bar type =isodd(a5) and then click on the
format button to select the desired format. Now click on OK Apply OK.

Copy and past the conditional formatting by using the paint brush

1. Place the cursor in A1 cell and select the Range
2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting
3. For Condition1Select 'Formula Is' and paste the below formula
=A1=ODD(A1)
4. Click Format ButtonFontColor select your desired font & Background
Color pattern and then give ok

Change the cell reference of A1 to your desired cell, if required.

But keep in mind that when applying the conditional formatting the Active
cell should be in the cell on which the formula is referred.

For Example if you want to apply the conditional formatting for C Column
when the formula is referring the C2 cell then place the cursor in C2 cell
and select the whole C Column by pressing Cntrl+Spacebar and apply the below
formula.
=C2=ODD(C2)
