To shade odd rows, just use ISODD instead:
A MOD alternative
If you’re using an older version of Excel (before 2007) you may not have access to ISEVEN and ISODD. In that case, you can use the “classic” formula for shading even or odd rows, which depends on the MOD function: MOD takes a number and a divisor as arguments, and returns the remainder. The ROW function provides the number, which is divided by 2, so MOD returns zero when the row is an even number and 1 if not.
