Hi,

I want to format a table in excel to change the row colour when a different value is reached in one of the columns. The value in this column changes every 20 cells or so, so ideally there would be two colours alternating down the table to make the differnet sections obvious (eg make blue rows, then value in column changes so make rows red, then value changes again so make rows blue etc).

TY
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Hi
Welcome to the board

Use conditional formatting with a formula that checks when the value changes.

For ex., select A2:A20 and use the formula:

=ISODD(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A1<>$A$2:$A2)))
