I have an inventory list that will end up being ~60k rows of data based on the sum of Col1.

tab name - "inventory"

Col1 - original quantity
Col2 - control number (similar to a SKU)
Col3 - category
Col4 - description of item

to start there is 3064 rows which have quantities that range from 1 to 1001

If possible, i'd need a VB code or macro that will take Row2 and insert enough rows below to satisfy the quantity in Col1 Row2 but whilst doing so, copying the data in Col2, Col3 and Col4 in to the new rows

IF anyone could help, I'd be very grateful and if needed I'll venmo/cashapp you $15

Hi Klewis,

Here is a code to perform the requested task: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim mQ, y As Integer, x As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

x = 2

Do
    mQ = Range("A" & x).Value - 1
    If mQ <> 0 Then
        For y = 1 To mQ
            Rows(x).Copy
            Rows(x + 1).Insert
        Next y
        Range(Cells(x + 1, "A"), Cells(x + mQ, "A")).ClearContents
    End If
    x = x + mQ + 1
Loop Until Range("A" & x).Value = vbNullString
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Best regards,
Trowa
