Using List1 from the Styles dialog you will find that inserting/deleting rows or
sorting/filtering will mess up the alternate row formatting.
If you use Conditional formatting you can choose the color and the banding will
hold through the above functions.
Select a gaggle of rows then Format>Conditional Formatting>Formula is:
=MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0
Format to a color you like and OK your way out.
