The best way to explain my problem is to look at the table below:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 348pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=464><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 87pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4242" span=4 width=116><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; HEIGHT: 15pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl67 height=20 width=116>How it looks now: </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=116> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=116> </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=116> </TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 47.25pt; mso-height-source: userset" height=63><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 47.25pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 height=63>Apple</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 width=116>Price 1

Thanks Bladehunter, appreciate the fast reply. So i actually looked at another post by crazyfrog where Joe4 replied with a code suggestion:

This has worked beautifully for me and am wondering whether i can slightly change the code up above slightly just so its more useful. Applying the code above I now have the situation below:

It would be nice to have "Fruit" and "Delicious" carry down from the first two rows as well, and the same thing for "Fruit" and "Very Delicious" for the two "Pear" rows. Any suggestions? But Joe4 - thanks for replying to another post and being very useful already, for me!

Sure, insert these two rows before:

myEnd = j - 1<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
Rich (BB code): 
Cells(i + 1, myCol + 1) = Cells(i, myCol + 1) 'Copy value from above for column 1 to right of myCol<o:p></o:p>
Cells(i + 1, myCol + 2) = Cells(i, myCol + 2) 'Copy value from above for column 2 to right of myCol<o:p></o:p>

Cheers

This absolutely works perfectly. If there's ever a time where I have 20 columns of data rather than 4 columns of data and still want to make sure that for the newly inserted rows, cells get copied down through column 20 - is there an efficient way to ensure this happens.

Thanks again for the swift reply!


the most updated code i have is below, just in case anyone else ever wants to take a look. Wasnt sure whether i should remove "Cells(i + 1, myCol - 1) = Cells(i, myCol - 1) 'Copy value from above for column to left of myCol" before "myEnd = j - 1" but left it in and seems to work great.

If you had more columns I would substitute the code with this:

Code: 
Sub Package()
Dim CalculatedValue
Range("L2").Select
Do
    If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then
        CalculatedValue = Application.WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value / 1.5, 0) * 1.5
        ActiveCell.Value = IIf(CalculatedValue = 31.5 Or CalculatedValue = 33 Or CalculatedValue = 61.5 Or CalculatedValue = 63, 34.5, CalculatedValue)
    End If
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))
End Sub
 
 
Sub MySplit()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myCol As Long
Dim myLen As Long
Dim myString As String
Dim myStart As Long
Dim myEnd As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim X As Integer
' Copy data from sheet1 to sheet2
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Cells.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
' Set column with line feeds ("B"=2)
myCol = 2
' Find last row of data in specified column
myLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, myCol).End(xlUp).Row
For i = myLastRow To 1 Step -1 'Loop through all columns
myLen = Len(Cells(i, myCol)) 'Get length of entry
If myLen > 0 Then 'If lenghth>0, capture string and loop through characters
myString = Cells(i, myCol)
myEnd = myLen
For j = myLen To 1 Step -1
If Asc(Mid(myString, j, 1)) = 10 Then 'Look for line breaks
myStart = j + 1
Rows(i + 1).EntireRow.Insert 'Insert new row
Cells(i + 1, myCol) = Mid(myString, myStart, myEnd - myStart + 1) 'Enter split value
Cells(i + 1, myCol - 1) = Cells(i, myCol - 1) 'Copy value from above for column to left of myCol
For X = 1 To 20 'Change this to the number of columns to the right of the master column
    Cells(i + 1, myCol + X) = Cells(i, myCol + X) 'Copy value from above for columns to right of myCol
Next
myEnd = j - 1
End If
Next j
Cells(i, myCol) = Left(myString, myEnd) 'Enter last value in original cell
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Update this:
For X = 1 To 20 'Change this to the number of columns to the right of the master

Change the 20 to however many columns you want to include to the right of your column with the carraige returns in.

In fact, use this and provided you have headings on row 1 it will calculate how many columns it should do it on :).

Code: 
Sub Package()
Dim CalculatedValue
Range("L2").Select
Do
    If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then
        CalculatedValue = Application.WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value / 1.5, 0) * 1.5
        ActiveCell.Value = IIf(CalculatedValue = 31.5 Or CalculatedValue = 33 Or CalculatedValue = 61.5 Or CalculatedValue = 63, 34.5, CalculatedValue)
    End If
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))
End Sub
 
 
Sub MySplit()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim myCol As Long
Dim myLen As Long
Dim myString As String
Dim myStart As Long
Dim myEnd As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim X As Integer
' Copy data from sheet1 to sheet2
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Cells.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
' Set column with line feeds ("B"=2)
myCol = 2
' Find last row of data in specified column
myLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, myCol).End(xlUp).Row
For i = myLastRow To 1 Step -1 'Loop through all columns
myLen = Len(Cells(i, myCol)) 'Get length of entry
If myLen > 0 Then 'If lenghth>0, capture string and loop through characters
myString = Cells(i, myCol)
myEnd = myLen
For j = myLen To 1 Step -1
If Asc(Mid(myString, j, 1)) = 10 Then 'Look for line breaks
myStart = j + 1
Rows(i + 1).EntireRow.Insert 'Insert new row
Cells(i + 1, myCol) = Mid(myString, myStart, myEnd - myStart + 1) 'Enter split value
Cells(i + 1, myCol - 1) = Cells(i, myCol - 1) 'Copy value from above for column to left of myCol
For X = 1 To Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column - 2
    Cells(i + 1, myCol + X) = Cells(i, myCol + X) 'Copy value from above for columns to right of myCol
Next
myEnd = j - 1
End If
Next j
Cells(i, myCol) = Left(myString, myEnd) 'Enter last value in original cell
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Nice. And apprently the program is robust enough to know that a blank cell (say column P is blank) but that it should continue to column Z - the true end in a case I ran.

So I'm running both macros now, first the shorter macro and then the much longer macro since each appear to be independant codes. I tested both codes on a larger data set with 300 rows and 25 columns and for some reason on column L row 185 is where the program stops - I noticed that this particular cell was blank. Do blank cells across the entire range affect the program? It doesnt seem like it, but making sure.

I would assume That this:

Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))

Is empty. The offset is -2 on the column meaning Column J.

You're right J185 is empty (and in this case, it so happens that L185 was empty too). Seems like empty rows don't affect the overall output.

I've been running the second macro without running the first and I don't see a difference. Is the first macro (below) needed, if so, why?

Dim CalculatedValue
Range("L2").Select
Do
If ActiveCell.Value = "" Then
CalculatedValue = Application.WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value / 1.5, 0) * 1.5
ActiveCell.Value = IIf(CalculatedValue = 31.5 Or CalculatedValue = 33 Or CalculatedValue = 61.5 Or CalculatedValue = 63, 34.5, CalculatedValue)
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))
End Sub
