Excel VBA Loop Conditional Formatting by Each Row - vba

Question

I am trying to conditionally format for each row in a loop skipping every other row. It starts out by formatting range B8:Y8 using a color scale criteria in cell AD8. The next loop should format B10:Y10 using AD10, then B12:Y12 using AD12, etc. all the way to row 98. Here is the formatting code that will be inside the loop:
Range("B8:Y8").Select
Selection.FormatConditions.AddColorScale ColorScaleType:=2
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).Type = _
xlConditionValueNumber
Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).Value = 0
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).FormatColor
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Type = _
xlConditionValueNumber
Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Value = "=$AD$8"
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).FormatColor
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent2
.TintAndShade = 0
End With

Answer 1

It may be expedient to make the conditional formatting rule for B8:Y92 then delete the CFR from the odd rows.
Dim r As Long
With ActiveSheet
With .Range("B8:Y92")
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.AddColorScale ColorScaleType:=2
.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).Type = _
xlConditionValueNumber
.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).Value = 0
With .FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).FormatColor
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Type = _
xlConditionValueNumber
.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Value = "=$AD$8"
With .FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).FormatColor
.ThemeColor = xlThemeColorAccent2
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
End With
For r = 9 To 91 Step 2
.Range("B" & r & ":Y" & r).FormatConditions.Delete
Next r
End With
