Excel - 3 Methods to Shade Every Other Row

Follow
Chris Menard

Highlighting or shading every other row in Excel is a great way to make your data easier to read. I'll show three methods for applying color to alternate rows. Method 1 is my least favorite, but I see users doing this a lot. Method 2 is one of my favorite features in Excel, but for the most control, use method 3. Method 3 is Conditional Formatting and I use the MOD Function and the ROW function. The MOD function returns the remainder of one number divided by another. The ROW function tells you what row you are in.

MOD Examples:
=MOD(7,2) will return 1. Seven divided by 2 is 3 with 1 remaining.
=MOD(7,3) will return 1. Seven divided by 3 is 2 with 1 remaining.
=MOD(7,4) will return 3. Seven divided by 4 is 1 with 3 remaining.
=MOD(4,2) will return 0. Four divided by 2 is 2 with 0 remaining.

ROW Examples:
=ROW(A7) will return 7
=ROW(D6) will return 6.
=ROW() will return 3, if you are in row 3 will return 3.
