Default how to shade every other 5 rows

Thanks the formula works great !

Try something like this:

Select the rows to be impacted, with A1 as the active cell

From the Excel main menu:
<format<conditional formatting
Formula is: =MOD(CEILING(ROW()/5,1),2)=1
Click the [format] button and set the shading pattern
Click [OK]
Click [OK] (again)

Is that something you can work with?
Does that help?

Click on the Row-Header (the actual 1 in the left margin) - then Format,
Conditional Formatting, Select Formula Is drop-down in box enter:

=MOD(ROW(),5)=0

Click Format button, select Gray Pattern

Ok, out

Again Click on Row-Header (only on 1st row) - Select Format-Painter
and click on row-header 2 and drag down the row-header column to say 100
That should get you rows 1 - 100.
