Hello all. I am using a loop code to add 7 rows in between rows.

The problem is I don't know how to account for the headers. Can someone take a look at my code. I want 7 rows in between each row that has data, but not in between the header and the first line of rows. So the blank rows would start at 3.

VBA Code:
Sub AddRows()
    ScreenUpdating = False

    With ActiveSheet
        LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    End With

    Dim AddRows As Integer: AddRows = 7

    Dim i As Integer: i = LastRow

    Do While i <> 1
        Rows(i & ":" & i + AddRows - 1).Insert
        i = i - 1
    Loop

    ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
As far as I can see, you just need to change this line
Do While i <> [B]3[/B]
Or a slightly different method which might be a little easier to understand.
VBA Code:
Sub AddRows()
    ScreenUpdating = False

    With ActiveSheet
        lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    End With

    Dim AddRows As Long: AddRows = 7

    Dim i As Long

    For i = lastrow To 3 Step -1
        Rows(i).Resize(AddRows).Insert
    Next

    ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Note that I've used Long instead of Integer, with large volumes of data, Integer can potentially result in runtime errors.

Replace this
VBA Code:
    Dim i As Integer: i = LastRow

    Do While i <> 1
        Rows(i & ":" & i + AddRows - 1).Insert
        i = i - 1
    Loop
with
VBA Code:
   Dim i As Long
   For i = lastRow To 3
      Rows(i).Resize(addrows).Insert
   Next i

Thank you Jason and Fluff. That is it. Yes you made it way simpler. I needed to change Dim i as Long... good call.
