how to alternating colors as column values change.
the article below tells me how but I don't want to use any additional
helper columns.
any ideas?
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/condfmt.htm (search with "Color
Grouping with alternating colors")
I can use conditional formatting on A1:A10 such that if any number falls
below 5 the cell goes blue while any cell with value baove 12 is red. All
without helper columns.
Tell us what you would wish to do.

a -- red
a -- red(same color above because col1 doesn't
change(a(above,current row)
b -- blue(change color because col1 changes a(above) to b(current row)
b -- blue(same color above because col1 doesn't

change(b(above,current row)

Experiment with:
Formula Is =AND(A2=A1,A2=A3) format Blue
