Visual help - conditional formatting

Hi there,

I have a table of data and each row has an ID. There are two rows per ID. I would like to use Table formatting to somehow highlight that the two rows relate to each other, so like the alternate background colour but forcing it to be the same for the two matching ID rows? Is there any way to do this using a measure and Cell element rules?

@JemmaD ,

Search "power bi format table by category"
I found this link 
https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Alternate-row-colour-after-7-rows-after-each-new-g...

EvenOdd = IF(ISEVEN(RANKX(ALLSELECTED(DailyROCStats),CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(DailyROCStats[QueueDate])),,ASC,Dense)) = TRUE(),1,0)

I used [QueueDate] as my Category.  Believe you will use your [ID] field.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Thanks @rsbin this worked perfectly. I had to change the default summarisation to Don't Summarize, then I got 0 and 1 in alternate rows for [ID]. I then added conditional formatting to all columns in the table using an average of this new calculated column using Gradient so min is white and max is grey and it splits the table up perfectly. Thank  you!
