Alternative rows shaded, one column width only

I have a report that utilizes the full width of the page, but the details section is only one column wide. Within the details, I want to shade every other row for visual appeal. Across the page, I would use

Remainder(RecordNumber,2) <> 0
and
Remainder(RecordNumber,2) = 0

for this effect. How do I control the shading results to only show up in this column, and not across the entire page?

Thanks in advance ...
 
Don't shade entire section every other row for visual appeal.
Select the field(column) which you want shaded every other row and change its color background only.
 
Thank you. I worked with your concept and found that, by removing the sections and placing two fields in one column with the same suppress formulae that were in the sections, I can get the results in the column. Have a great one. H
