In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

I have an xls sheet with 500 rows and 4 columns. In column B is the date for
that particular record.
Is there a way that I can have xls insert a blank row everytime it
encounters a change in date in colum B. For example I may have 10 records
with the date 01-Sep-06, then after those 10 records that date wil be
02-Sep-06 and that may be 5 rows.
I want a blank row automatically inserted after each change in date.
