VBA Transpose Data and Insert Rows

[SMITEE]

Hello, I want a macro that will look at columns F through K and:

1. If a cell in those columns contains a value, then insert a row after
2. Transpose the value to column E
3. (Optional) auto-fill columns A, B, C, and D with the preceeding value

Note that if a cell in columns F-K has a value, then the corresponding cell in the preceeding column always has a value.

Before:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
100	abc	fall	blue	hand	back	hip
200	def	spring	red	thigh	head
300	ghi	winter	green	arm	neck	shoulder	wrist	elbow	knee	ankle
400	jkl	summer	yellow	abdomen

<tbody>
</tbody>

After:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
100	abc	fall	blue	hand
100	abc	fall	blue	back
100	abc	fall	blue	hip
200	def	spring	red	thigh
200	def	spring	red	head
300	ghi	winter	green	arm
300	ghi	winter	green	neck
300	ghi	winter	green	shoulder
300	ghi	winter	green	wrist
300	ghi	winter	green	elbow
300	ghi	winter	green	knee
300	ghi	winter	green	ankle
400	jkl	summer	yellow	abdomen

<tbody>

try this on a copy of your file,

Sub do_it()

lr = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
sr = lr + 2

For r = 1 To lr

a = Cells(r, "A")
b = Cells(r, "B")
c = Cells(r, "C")
d = Cells(r, "D")


For x = 5 To Cells(r, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

Cells(sr, "A") = a
Cells(sr, "B") = b
Cells(sr, "C") = c
Cells(sr, "D") = d
Cells(sr, "E") = Cells(r, x)
sr = sr + 1

Next x
Next r
End Sub

hth,

Hi Ross, I'm afraid that didn't work. I ran the macro and there were no changes to my worksheet.

I tried fiddling with the following macro without success.

Sub TransposeSpecial()
Dim lMaxRows As Long 'max rows in the sheet
Dim lThisRow As Long 'row being processed
Dim iMaxCol As Integer 'max used column in the row being processed


lMaxRows = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row

lThisRow = 1 'start from row 1

Do While lThisRow < lMaxRows

iMaxCol = Cells(lThisRow, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

If (iMaxCol > 1) Then
Rows(lThisRow + 1 & ":" & lThisRow + iMaxCol - 1).Insert
Range(Cells(lThisRow, 2), Cells(lThisRow, iMaxCol)).Copy
Range("E" & lThisRow + 1).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
Range(Cells(lThisRow, 2), Cells(lThisRow, iMaxCol)).Clear
lThisRow = lThisRow + iMaxCol - 1
lMaxRows = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
End If

lThisRow = lThisRow + 1
Loop
End Sub
Sub Test()


End Sub

I tested my code on a different computer and it worked. can anyone else please test it. and let me know.

Thanks,
