I believe a function must return a value, so what you have written should
probably be a Sub since it is designed to perform an action. You would have
to use the PasteSpecial method to exclude the format properties when copying
data from one range to another. e.g. MySheet.myRange.PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues

I am coding a sheet in which I need to insert multiple rows and I have a
function that I can call that does this splendidly. The problem arises if you
have a row with shading and borders ABOVE the row on which you are doing an
insert, then the borders and shading from the row above is copied down when
the insert is done.

I just want to do a row insert without the cell shading and borders being
copied down using VBA code. Can someone give me an easier way than having to
reformat everything every time?

My current function I'm using is below (remove row wrapping):

Public Function RowsInsert(argStartCell As String, argRowsToInsert As Long)
Range(Range(argStartCell).Address,
Range(Range(argStartCell).Offset(argRowsToInsert,
0).Address)).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End Function
