Background Coloring Dilemma

Asking for some help Please

Have Bar Numbering set up (id8:sg1) - (numbers every 15 bars - It is working)

Have 2 Color Background Based On Alert Condition set up

1st Color Background Alert..., the alert is set up - =isodd(id8:sg1) - this one works perfect

2nd Color Background Alert..., the alert is set up - =iseven(id8:sg1) - this one background colors the entire chart

I'm thinking the 2nd Color Background Alert is interpreting the bars not numbered... as even integers


Any suggestions / insight would be much appreciated

Thank You

Are the bar numbers all even values?

0 is an even number, all bars that are not numbered are 0, therefore all non-numbered bars are colored.

Change alert condition to

=AND(ISEVEN(ID8.SG1),ID8.SG1<>0)
