Adding Rows
In an adjoining column, enter 1 in the first cell and 2 in the second cell.
Copy those two cells. Select from the first cell down until you have 4000 cells selected.. Paste the data - you will have 1 & 2 repeated all the way down. Sort using the new column as the key. Clear the new column. -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Paul_of_Abingdon" wrote in message I have an excel file with 2000 records.

Hi Paul,
One way, Put 1 into B1 Highlight B1 and B2 Grab the fill handle and drag down to row 4000 That should leave 1 blank 2 blank 3 blank...etc in col B Put =INDIRECT("A"&B1) in C1 Grab the fill handle and drag down to C4000 (or just double click it) That should leave your column A data in column C separated by the #REF error. Whilst column C is still selected Tap F5SpecialFormulas Uncheck Numbers, Text and Logicals and leave Errors checked. OK out Then tap delete Do a CopyPaste Values on column C and delete columns A and B HTH Martin "Paul_of_Abingdon" wrote in message ... I have an excel file with 2000 records.

Why would you want to?
It would mess up any chance you have of sorting or filtering your sheet. If for appearance sake, just select all rows and double the height.
