Some on this board wrote a macro for me to insert a blank row after a column
of names and it works wonderfully for last names. However if doesn't put a
blank row between people with the same last name, but different first names.
Is it possible for someone to look at this macro and change it for me?
Thanks, I'll be very grateful.

Dim LastRow As Long
Dim X As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For X = LastRow To 3 Step -1
If Cells(X, 1).Value <> Cells(X - 1, 1).Value Then
If Cells(X, 1).Value <> "" Then
If Cells(X - 1, 1).Value <> "" Then
Cells(X, 1).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
End If
End If
Next X
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 
Looks like your last names are in Col A...
If first names are in Col B then use this
(just changed 1 i.e. Col A to 2 i.e. Col B)
It is assumed that data is sorted on Last name and then on first name...

Sub insertRow()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim X As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For X = LastRow To 3 Step -1
If Cells(X, 2).Value <> Cells(X - 1, 2).Value Then
If Cells(X, 2).Value <> "" Then
If Cells(X - 1, 2).Value <> "" Then
Cells(X, 2).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
End If
End If
Next X
Application.ScreenUpdating = True


End Sub
