Hi,
I have an excell spreadsheet that contains a table. I want to be able to insert a given number of rows dependant on the value inserted to a particular cell. So if value is '3' , it will insert 3 rows, if value is '6' it will insert 6 rows and so on.
Any suggestions welcome. I have limited experience in using macros and almost none with vb

many thanks

Hi

I still cant figure this out, even with teh sample data. My spreadsheet is as follows;

Column A
Invoice Date - input by user

Column B
Invoice Number - Input by user

Column C
Invoice Total - Input by user

Column D
Number of Budget Centres invoice is split accross - Value 1-60 input by user

Column E
Value of invoice per budget centre - automatically calculate C divided by D

Columns F - O
Additional data - input by user

I want the sheet to automatically insert the number of rows indicated in column D minus 1 (the existing row becomes row 1) Also the value calculated in Column E should be copied into the new rows.

Suggestions to date appreciated, any further advice greatly received.

regards

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too

Hi

Thanks for this, looks like it could do the trick.
Forgive my ignorance though, can I check the following;
1- Do I put this code on the VB editor for the sheet (right click sheet, view code) ?
2- Do I need to add or change anything to the code ?

thanks again

#1 Once you start VBE, You would add a new module and paste the code in that newly added module

#2 If you sheet looks like the sample data there, then nothing needs to be changed
