I am trying to figure out how to band similar rows together and alternate the color. I would like it to looks like this example...

As you can see, each row is alternating color based on the name. Some are duplicates.

Ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
The easiest is with a extra column (which you can hide) with the formula (assuming your example)

in column F, cell F7

=IF(AND(A7=A6,B7=B6,C7=C6,D7=D6,E7=E6),F6,NOT(F6))

and copy this down.

Highlight the range A7:Exx, and give it one of the two background colours.
Then in conditional formatting, with the range still selected, select from Formula and enter:

=$F7=TRUE

Then select the other colour for background. Press enter a few times and you should have the banded sets.
