I need to create conditional cell formatting but only for rows that will not be blank. This Excel file will be used as a template that Python script will fill with data so if there are rows without data, these rows should not be formatted.
As per illustration below, I need to create a formula that will apply conditional formatting for banded columns in two colors- light grey and white.
Is there a better way to implement this rather than creating conditional formatting rule for each cell individually?
Tried this and tested conditions, but no formatting is being done.
Using ISBLANK
, MOD
, and COLUMN
:
=AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A2)),MOD(COLUMN(A2),2)=1)
Change the formula separator to ;
as necessary, and ensure the Applies to range begins in A2
, or whichever cell corresponds to the first row.
