    Shortcut to Greying every other row?

    Hello,

    I do a spreadsheet every night for work, and I grey every other row for ease of reading.
    At first I started to "Ctrl select" every other row by hand, but then I discovered this code:
    =AND(MOD(ROW(),2),COUNTA($A1:$D1))
    Which is an awesome help!
    However, I'm American so I'm looking for a way to further simplify my life.

    I have the code saved in a Microsoft Doc and have to manually enter it into conditional formatting each time.

    Is there a way I can program this into excel so I don't have to manually enter it?

    I attempted to save it into a worksheet and have excel open it as a macro every time it opens, but that failed miserably.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    -Jesse

    Hi Jesse and welcome to the forum,

    Maybe you should simply start with a default spreadsheet that has every other line shaded. Read

    If a default isn't what works for you, read about Theme Coloring on a table to see if that is faster for you.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
