Inserting multiple rows every other row

[Guest]

I ahve a report that has 144 lines of data and I need to insert 11 additional
blank lines in between each line that has data but doing this manually takes
foever. Is there a function or macro that can be used to insert the 11 blank
lines between each line of data?
Thanks,

Sub InsertRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim numRows As Integer
Dim r As Long
numRows = 11
For r = 144 To 1 Step -1
ActiveSheet.Rows(r + 1).Resize(numRows).EntireRow.Insert
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and Insert>Module. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to Tool>Macro>Macros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
