Hey All

I'm am trying to figure out a macro to run that:

If cell on Column B (let's say B5) equals "1" "2" or "3"

Then insert (below) the the number of rows that the cell in F5 equals

So, if "1" shows up in cell B5, and if F5 equals 3, then 3 blank rows would be added below row 5

Then, go to the next row with data (after the rows that just were inserted) and repeat until there is no more data in the Workbook.

So now, if "2" shows up in the next cell (now, B9) and if F9 equals 2, then 2 blank rows would be added below row 9.

If the number doesn't show up in the cell in Column B, go to the next row and perform the macro.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!!! :D
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Try this:
Code:
Sub InsertRowsIf()
Dim lr As Long, R As Range
lr = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set R = Range("B1", "B" & lr)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = R.Rows.Count - 1 To 1 Step -1
    If R.Cells(i, 1).Value Like "[1-3]" Then
        If IsNumeric(R.Cells(i, 1).Offset(0, 4).Value) Then
            If R.Cells(i, 1).Offset(0, 4).Value > 0 Then
                R.Cells(i, 1).Offset(1, 0).Resize(R.Cells(i, 1).Offset(0, 4).Value, 1).EntireRow.Insert
            End If
        End If
    End If
Next i
End Sub

Hi JoeMo,

Nice code, it works like a charm.
I wanted some help modifiying it.
I have column B as:

B1 2
B2 1
B3 3
B4 2

I want to insert number of of rows with the values in the column so you would have. I dont want a restriction on the number of rows, so long as the column is not empty.

B1 2
B2
B3
B4 1
B5
B6 3
B7
B8
B9
B10 2
B11
B12

Welcome to the board!

Try this:
Code:
Sub InsertRowsIf()
Dim lr As Long, R As Range, i As Long
lr = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set R = Range("B1", "B" & lr)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = R.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
    If IsNumeric(R.Cells(i, 1).Value) And Not IsEmpty(R.Cells(i, 1)) Then
        R.Cells(i, 1).Offset(1, 0).Resize(R.Cells(i, 1).Value).EntireRow.Insert
    End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

JoeMo, you rock!!

I just want to take it a step above, I have information in columns A-J, is there a way that the entire row's information can be copied onto the new rows we created using this macro?
So for example, if I have row 2 creating 3 more rows below it, all the same exact information is carried over?
