HOW CAN I AUTOMATICALLY INSERT ALTERNATE BLANK ROWS IN A LIST?
 

I have a standard list in Excel and I want to insert multiple alternate
blank rows automatically so that these rows can be used for additiional data
at a later stage.

Can anyone offer advice as to how this can be done?

Thanks in advance.

"Automatic" requires VBA code.

Sub InsertALTrows()
'David McRitchie, misc 2001-06-30
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim i As Integer
For i = Selection(Selection.Count).Row To Selection(1).Row + 1 Step -1
Rows(i).EntireRow.Insert
Next i
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

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

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 above code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.
