Yes. Or you could have an input box asking the user which column.
And, if you want to run for multiple columns that can be done to make one
mouse click.
But, are you sure you want to do that cuz you might get rows inserted that
you don't want.

Thanks a lot Don :)

Also if I want to repeat it for other columns, I just have to run the
macro
again but replace the "b" in the code with the corresponding column name
right?

Thanks again, You made my day :)

copy this macro into a module.

Sub insertspaces()
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "b").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i - 1, "b") < Cells(i, "b") Then Rows(i).Insert
Next i
End Sub

Hi,

I have an excel file which goes like this in my first 2 columns:

PRODUCT PUBLICATION
NAME

Product 1 publication 1
publication 1
publication 2
Product 2 publication 1
publication 1
publication 2
Product 3 publication 3
Product 4 publication 2

This file runs in 20k + rows.....and I need to insert a new row
whenever I
encounter a new product or publication. The end result as I want is
below:

PRODUCT PUBLICATION
NAME

Product 1 publication 1
publication 1

publication 2

Product 2 publication 1
publication 1

publication 2

Product 3 publication 3

Product 4 publication 2

Notice that there's a row between new products and new publications.
Can
someone tell me an easier way to do it , or than doing it manually for
20,000+ rows?

Thanks :)
