Does anyone know how to create a formula that causes the row colour to alternate when using conditional formatting?

Use Format -> Conditional Formatting with two conditions with these formulas:

  1. =MOD(ROW(),2)=0
  2. =MOD(ROW(),2)=1

then apply your custom format.

Choose Classic. The dialog changes, 'Format only cells that contain' should appear - change thst selection to 'Use a formula to determine which ceels to format' – Ed Randall – 2018-04-26T12:23:56.333

Format -> Conditional formating brings up a box. Clicking + to add a rule gives me a choice of 2 color scale, 3 color scale, Data bar, icon sets, classic. Checking each of these in turn shows no place I can enter a formula. Mac Excel 2011 – Sherwood Botsford – 2014-02-13T12:14:53.600
