I am using Mac Excel 2011 and I am quite new to Excel Marco. For the purposes of organizing research data, I need help with creating VBA codes for the following task:
Suppose I have the following Columns and Rows:
A1B1C1D1
A2B2C2D2
A3B3C3D3
I would like a macro to be able to copy and the first row down ( A1B1C1D1)119times, immediately followed by the 2nd row being copied and pasted down 119times, lastly the 3rd row being copied and pasted down 119times.
data is like this col A to D(copy sheet 1 to shee2 also to preserve original data)
A1 B1 C1 D1
A2 B2 C2 D2
A3 B3 C3 D3
for experiment in the macro I have used m=10 that is repeated 10 time. you can change this code as you like.
macro is
Sub test() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim j As Long, k As Long, m As Long m = 10 Worksheets("sheet1").Activate j = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row For k = j To 1 Step -1 Cells(k, 1).EntireRow.Copy Range(Cells(k, 1), Cells(k + m, 1)).EntireRow.Insert Next k Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.CutCopyMode = False End Sub
Thank you so much for your help. Apologies for the late reply!
I tried the codes, and there are two issues that I hope you can help me with further:
1) Each row was copied 12 time down (including the original data), rather than 10 times. I wonder why that is the case?
2) I realized that for some of my data, the first cell is actually blank (but the remaining ones have data). Those rows need to be copied as well, but are ignoed by the macro. I was wondering if there is any way to have the macro include those rows as well. So for instance:
A1 B1 C1 D1
A2 B2 C2 D2
B3 C3 D3
The macro would ingore the 3rd row. Can the codes be amended to include the 3 row as well?
