First, yes, it is really is as easy as highlight the column in the column format and applying shading.
After you do that, yes, it looks funny (meaning the whole column does not appear shaded). But that is okay, and NORMAL.
Now, here is where it gets tricky. If you have applied ANY formatting to your row (including indenting, highlighting, font change, etc), then the shading will not take effect. This is identified as a quality report with Microsoft, #352181. And unfortunately, there is no scheduled fix date yet. So the only workaround is to recreate the row format without the additional formatting.
Results when indenting is applied on the row format...note the rows that are indented are not shaded properly.
Row format with indenting...
So it seems, for now, you have to choose between formatting (and I mean ANY formatting, not just shading) on the row format -vs- shading on the column format based on your needs.
