Thanks Angela

There is another way as well.
1)create a Boolean variable with expression " mod(RowNumber(),2)=1 "
2)Go to conditional explorer and select ' yes ' under the boolean variable.
3)Then select the entire report and set the backgroung color as "blue".
This one is simple and works fine...

Suppose you are creating a report with two data items
Customer_Name and Total-sales respectively.

Create two new data items.
1.Dataitem1: Running-count([CUSTOMER_NAME])
2.Dataitem2: Mod([Data Item1],2)

Create a variable :
Boolean [Query1].[Data Item2]=1 or 0

Come to conditional explorer bar, select YES, under
properties select the background color.

Come to conditional explorer bar, select NO, under
properties select the background color.

Save report and run.
