You did NOT mention existing blank rows. I always wonder why OP's can't
fully state their problem in the first place. Let me understand. You
have
a
block of data. Under that block there are TWO blank rows already and you
want a THIRD??? Before/after examples are always desirable.

something like this

I have around 50,000 rows of data down each sheet.
These are made up of a contiuous series of approx 4000 blocks of
data.
The blocks of data vary between 2 and 30 rows deep.
What I want to do is insert a blank row after each block of data.
Manually, over 6 sheets, I would have to do around 24,000
copy/pastes
and this isn't practical.
Does anyone know how it can be set up to run automatically??

Any helpful suggestions/comments would be appreciated and I'm
familiar
with Excel macros - if that's at all useful.
Thanks.
Colwyn.

Don, thanks for your reply. As there is always a minimum of 2 rows
between the blocks of data your formula inserts two rows instead of
the required one row. It's nearly there but not quite. Can you fine
tune it? Or is that not possible ??
Thanks.
Colwyn.

No Don. I have columns of data. Column B is continuous. It lists names
in blocks of between 2 and 30 rows.

In column A each block is numbered in the top row.

All following cells in column A will be blank until the beginning of
block 2 when the number 2 will appear.

I want to insert a blank row between each block of data.

Please let me know if I'm not making it as clear as I perhaps should
be (I'm not too experienced is my only excuse!!).
Big thanks.
Colwyn.




Don, thanks for your help in this matter. I've sorted it out now -
much to my surprise !!

However, (oh dear!) ...there is perhaps something else you may be
able to help with. It's related to the above.

The spreadsheet contains a series of blocks of data and there are no
breaks between rows. I want to put a blank row between each block of
data. Any suggestions as to how I might go about this ??
It would be really helpful if I could achieve this end.
Thanks.
Colwyn.
