Every other row is a color that I cannot get rid of & background color will not override it

[Ed_Novy]

this should be very easy but I'm not seeing it!!  very frustrating!  trying to get rid of the blue shading in every other row.  hitting the "fill" button in a white one creates the yellow highlight.  doing the same in the blue one does nothing.  but if you look at the cell - it tells me it's yellow.  but the blue is set up somewhere else giving it some kind of "priority" or "override" capability!

@Ed_Novy Select the entire sheet. On the Home ribbon, select Conditional Formatting and Clear Rules (from entire sheet). That should do it.

@Riny_van_EekelenThank You VERY MUCH!!!!  I tried that & it worked perfect!  I never saw this before, the boss asked me to try, I did for an hour then gave up & tried this group.  I tried reading the rule language to understand how to do this - not happening any time soon!  Maybe one day but the accounting business has been nuts with SBA loans, etc this past year & it still is.  Your email went to my "Junk" folder, I just found it an hour ago.  Thanks again!!
