Hi all,

I've been searching a solution to my issue on the board but could not find a working solution that covers my needs.
I'd really appreciate some help to come up with a VBA code that does the following:

I have an Excel file with multiple sheets. In a specific sheet called "xyz" I have data from columns A to BW. Row 1 is for data labels.
The number of rows is variable depending on the source data.

I'd need code to check if column C contains a number or if it's empty.
If it's empty, then proceed to next row.
If it contains a number, then the code should insert the corresponding number of rows below, while copying (and keeping the format) columns G to BW from the origin row to the newly inserted ones.
The loop should process all rows iteratively until there is no data in column A.

For example:
Cell C2 contains "2". Code should insert 2 new rows under row 2 (so 3 and 4) and should copy G2:BW2 to G3:BW3 and G4:BW4 .

Cell C3 (now C5 after the previous rows have been inserted) contains "3". Code should insert 3 new rows under row 5 (so 6, 7 and 8) and should copy G5:BW5 to G6:BW6, G7:BW7 and G8:BW8.

Cell C9 and the the entire row 9 have no data, so the loop should stop.

Many thanks in advance for your kind help!
Yann.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Give this a try with a copy of your workbook.

VBA Code:
Sub Inert_rows()
  Dim r As Long
  
  For r = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
    With Cells(r, 3)
      If IsNumeric(.Value) And Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
        Rows(r + 1).Resize(.Value).Insert
        Range(Replace("G#:BW#", "#", r)).Copy Destination:=Range("G" & r + 1).Resize(.Value)
      End If
    End With
  Next r
End Sub

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for your quick answer!
Your code works great, to one exception, and it's probably my fault for not being specific enough.
Some of my values between columns G and BW are formulas, so when doing "resize" (which is like manually dragging cells down I believe), it drags the formulas, which generates incorrect data in the new rows.
How would you go about replacing "Resize" by copy and paste values only?

Thanks again,
Yann.

paste values only
.. before you said
and keeping the format
.. so I have included values and formats in the paste below.

VBA Code:
Sub Inert_rows_v2()
  Dim r As Long
  
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For r = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
    With Cells(r, 3)
      If IsNumeric(.Value) And Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
        Rows(r + 1).Resize(.Value).Insert
        Range(Replace("G#:BW#", "#", r)).Copy
        Range("G" & r + 1).Resize(.Value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        Range("G" & r + 1).Resize(.Value).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
      End If
    End With
  Next r
  Application.CutCopyMode = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Solution
Hi Peter,

Sorry for making it more complicated for you. ?

I've tested the new code and it works flawlessly!

Big huge thanks to you for your time and expertise!
I have occasionally used these forums to find code that would help with my excel projects, but it's the first time I ask for help directly, and you've been more than helpful. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Yann.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

One way to implement a macro..
1. With your workbook active press Alt+F11 to bring up the vba window.
2. In the Visual Basic window use the menu to Insert|Module
3. Copy and Paste the code into the main right hand pane that opens at step 2.
4. Close the Visual Basic window.
5. Press Alt+F8 to bring up the Macro dialog
6. Select the macro & click ‘Run’
7. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm)

Hmm, seems like your question is not quite the same as Yann74's after all. ;)

Please post another mini-sheet showing your expected results for the sample data above so that I can see just what they are and where they should be.
