I have a sheet that may have different amounts of data. 1 day it might have 20lines; the next maybe 100. I want a macro that will add 1 empty line below each row of data until the data ends.
example: before code has run

Code:
     A           B            C    
1  mike      test          test
2  bob       test          test
3  trevor    blah          blahbla
 
after macro runs:
 
     A           B            C    
1  mike      test          test
2
3  bob       test          test
4
5  trevor    blah          blahbla
Any idea's?
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Try something like this...
Code:
Sub Insert_Rows()
    Dim LastRow As Long, r As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For r = LastRow To 2 Step -1
        Rows(r).Insert Shift:=xlDown
    Next r
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

Is it possible to adjust this slightly to work on a range of selected rows rather than everything?

Thank you

That works fine thank you very much

My regards to you from a gloomy Southern England

Cheers. By the way, the 'Insert' line doesn't need the Shift:=xlDown
this would be just as good
Code:
Rows(r + 1).Insert
