Default Macro to copy previous row and insert two blank rows

Hi,
I'm working on a excel sheet that contains about 5000 rows of data.
What I need to do is to look at column A and go through the rows and
whenever the row has the text "Total Spend" I need to copy it to the
following row with "Total N Spend" and insert two blank rows after
that. So for example:

Column A
Row 1 Apple
Row 2 IBM
Row 3 Dell
Row 4 Total Spend - Computer
Row 5 (Would copy row 4) Total N Spend - Computer
Row 6 Insert Blank Row
Row 7 Insert Blank Row
Row8 CarA
Row9 CarB
Row10 Total Spend - Cars
Row11 Total N Spend - Cars
Row12 Insert Blank Row
etc.

Previously someone helped me with this code below but nothing happens
after I run this macro.
Any help is appreciated, Thank you.



Sub TotalSpend()


Dim iCount As Integer
Dim iMax As Integer
Dim iLength As Integer


iCount = 1
iMax = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheets("Sheet1").Columns( 1))


Do Until Left(Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iCount, 1).Value, 11) = "Total
Spend -"
iCount = iCount + 1
Select Case iCount
Case Is iMax
MsgBox "Some data must be missing in Column A of Sheet1."
Exit Sub
End Select
Loop


iLength = Len(Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iCount, 1).Value)


Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iCount + 1, 1).Value = "Total N Spend - " & _
Right(Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(iCount, 1).Value, iLength - 14)


End Sub

Default Macro to copy previous row and insert two blank rows

Change the column from mc to suit your column number. If you want TWO blank
rows change resize(2,1) to 3,1

Sub addrowsandtext()
mc = 6
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If UCase(Left(Cells(i, mc), 5)) = "TOTAL" Then
Cells(i + 1, mc).Resize(2, 1).EntireRow.Insert
Cells(i + 1, mc).Value = "Total N " & _
Right(Cells(i, mc), Len(Cells(i, mc)) - 6)
End If
Next i
End Sub
