changing the background color on a single column

I am trying to change the background color on one column.
The only thing it will let me do is change the background
on the whole table. Can someone please tell me how to do
this?

Hi
Right-click on the column header (A or B etc) and select Format Cells /
Patterns and select the one you want.

In Excel go to help format, also check out patterns
