Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Is this in Excel?
I ask as xl only has 1,048,576 rows

If it's for excel, try this:

Code:
Sub Macro5()
    Dim u As Double, i As Double
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    u = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = u To 3 Step -1
        If InStr(1, Cells(i, "A"), "Create") > 0 Then
            Rows(i & ":" & i + 1).Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
            Cells(i, "B").FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(""formula1"",R[4]C[1])"
            Cells(i + 1, "B").FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(""formula2"",R[2]C[1])"
        End If
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Another option
Code:
Sub tuxo99()
   Dim Ar As Areas
   Dim i As Long
   
   With Range("A:A")
      .Replace "create", "=xxxcreate", xlPart, , False, , False, False
      Set Ar = .SpecialCells(xlFormulas, xlErrors).Areas
      .Replace "=xxxcreate", "create", xlPart, , False, , False, False
   End With
   For i = Ar.Count To 1 Step -1
      Ar(i).Resize(2).EntireRow.Insert xlDown
      Ar(i).Offset(-2).Formula = "=CONCATENATE(""formula1"",R[4]C[1])"
      Ar(i).Offset(-1).Formula = "=CONCATENATE(""formula2"",R[2]C[1])"
   Next i
End Sub
