VBA - how to replicate the value n times Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

I have to write in VBA a macro that allows to replicate value n times (input).
Let's say, I have a list
one
two
three
and I have to repeat it n (=4) times, the result should be in one column:
one
one
one
one
two
two
two
two
three
three
three
three.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

your data is from A1 to A3

try this macro

Sub test()
Dim r As String, n As Integer
n = InputBox("type number of times to be replicated")
 r = InputBox("the cells address whose values to be replciated, e.g A2    ")
Range(Range(r).Offset(1, 0), Range(r).Offset(n - 1, 0)).EntireRow.Insert
Range(r).Copy Range(Range(r).Offset(1, 0), Range(r).Offset(n - 1, 0))
End Sub

I am assuming for each row the number of additional times to be replicated may be different. try this    

Sub test()  
Dim j As Integer, k As Integer, n As Integer  
j = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row  

k = 1  

Do  
n = InputBox("type number of ADDITIONAL times to be replicated e.g. 2")  
Range(Cells(k + 1, "A"), Cells(k + n, "A")).EntireRow.Insert  
Cells(k, "A").Copy Range(Cells(k + 1, "A"), Cells(k + n, "A"))  
k = k + n + 1  
'MsgBox k  
If Cells(k, "A") = "" Then Exit Do  
Loop
End Sub

For I = 1 To n
    For j = 1 To 1
       Data(i, j) = Cells(i, j).Value
    Next j
Next i

With Worksheets("sheet1")

For I = 1 To m * n

If I / m = I \ m Then j = j + 1

Next i
