I have alternate colours in my table to help with reading it but I have another procedure that copies rows to it. When that happens, the rows are all pasted in as one colour, even if there are more than 1.

This is what it looks like after 3 entries have been copied to it, notice that the are not copied to still has the alternate colours from column M.

Costing_tool


I have a button at the top of the spreadsheet that adds one row at a time and even it does it.

Do I need to add code that formats it all with alternate colours in the rows that runs at the end?
If so, what is that code?


Here is the copy procedure
VBA Code:
Sub cmdSend()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    Dim desWS As Worksheet, srcWS As Worksheet
        Set srcWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("CSS_quote_sheet")
        Set desWS = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Costing_tool")
    Dim lastRow1 As Long, lastRow2 As Long
    Dim i As Long, X As Long, header As Range
        lastRow1 = srcWS.Range("B" & srcWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        lastRow2 = desWS.Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
        
    With srcWS.Range("A:A,B:B,D:D,H:H")
        If lastRow2 < 5 Then
            lastRow2 = 5
            For i = 1 To .Areas.Count
                X = .Areas(i).Column
                Set header = desWS.Rows(4).Find(.Areas(i).Cells(10), LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole)
                If Not header Is Nothing Then
                    srcWS.Range(srcWS.Cells(11, X), srcWS.Cells(lastRow1, X)).Copy
                    desWS.Cells(lastRow2, header.Column).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                End If
            Next i
            With desWS
                If .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > 5 Then
                    desWS.ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").ListRows.Add
                    .ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").DataBodyRange.Columns(1).NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
                End If
                .Range("C" & lastRow2 & ":C" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("H4")
                .Range("D" & lastRow2 & ":D" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B5")
                .Range("F" & lastRow2 & ":F" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B7")
                .Range("G" & lastRow2 & ":G" & .Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row) = srcWS.Range("B6")
            End With
        Else
            lastRow2 = desWS.Range("A:A").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
            desWS.ListObjects.Item("tblCosting").ListRows.Add
            For i = 1 To .Areas.Count
                X = .Areas(i).Column
                Set header = desWS.Rows(4).Find(.Areas(i).Cells(10), LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole)
                If Not header Is Nothing Then
                    srcWS.Range(srcWS.Cells(11, X), srcWS.Cells(lastRow1, X)).Copy
                    desWS.Cells(lastRow2 + 1, header.Column).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
                End If
            Next i
            With desWS
                .Range("C" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":C" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("H4")
                .Range("D" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":D" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("B5")
                .Range("F" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":F" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("B7")
                .Range("G" & lastRow2 + 1 & ":G" & .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row) = srcWS.Range("B6")
            End With
        End If
    End With
    desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort.SortFields. _
        Add Key:=desWS.Cells(, 1), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:= _
        xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting").Sort
        .header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    With desWS.ListObjects("tblCosting")
        Call AltColours
    End With
    Call AddName
    
    With Application
        .CutCopyMode = False
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
    Dim oLst As ListObject
        Dim lr As Long, Rng As Range
        lr = desWS.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
        For i = lr To 4 Step -1
            Set Rng = desWS.Cells(i, 1)
            If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(Rng) = 1 Then
                desWS.Rows(i).Delete
            End If
        Next i
End Sub

and
VBA Code:
Sub AltColours()
    Dim Rng As Range
    Set Rng = Selection
    
    With Rng.FormatConditions.Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=MOD(ROW(),2)=0")
        .Interior.Color = RGB(208, 216, 232)
        .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Borders.ThemeColor = 1
        .Borders.Weight = xlThin
    End With
    
    With Rng.FormatConditions.Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=MOD(ROW(),2)=1")
    
        .Interior.Color = RGB(233, 237, 244)
        .Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .Borders.ThemeColor = 1
        .Borders.Weight = xlThin
    
    End With
End Sub
