Help with macro

[Guest]

My goal is to add a cell between a name i enter and the total so there is
always a blank row. i have this but it only works if cell a4 is changed.

A B c
1 Customers
1 George
2 Sam
3
4 Total

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lastrow As Long, i As Long
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
If Intersect(Target, Range("A4")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
'The cell you are monitoring is changed!
For i = lastrow To 2 Step -1
If InStr(1, Cells(i, "a"), "Total", vbTextCompare) Then
Rows(i).Insert
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Any help would be appreciated

Using your existing code this should work...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lastrow As Long, i As Long
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
If Target.Column = 1 Then
'The cell you are monitoring is changed!
For i = lastrow To 2 Step -1
If InStr(1, Cells(i, "a"), "Total", vbTextCompare) Then
Rows(i).Insert
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Your code never diables events. It re-nables but it never diabled in the
first place... Try this...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lastrow As Long, i As Long
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
'The cell you are monitoring is changed!
For i = lastrow To 2 Step -1
If InStr(1, Cells(i, "a"), "Total", vbTextCompare) Then
Rows(i).Insert
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
