Excel Conditional Formatting - format cell based on row number AND formula

Question

I'm trying to conditionally format cells individually that are above a certain value AND on an even row number. I can perform these tasks separately, but the AND function will not work. I believe it is due to Excel trying "compute" a range comparison inside the AND, and it produces 0.

Here is an image of what I'm trying to achieve:

Answer 1

Use formula

=AND(B2>0.5,MOD(ROW(),2)=0)

and apply to range $B$2:$C$4
