    Alternate Background-colors

    Hi

    I have a really big excel sheet with more than 20000 rows.

    I would like to set the background color alternate every 150 rows. means: the first 150 rows blue background, the next 150 rows green background, the next 150 rows blue background again and so on.

    How can i do that autmatically?

    Cheers
    Sissi

    Use conditional formatting and place these formulas in the

    first condition =MOD((ROW()-MOD(ROW(),150))/150,2)=0 and format blue
    second condition =MOD((ROW()-MOD(ROW(),150))/150,2)<>0 and format green.
