For index = 2 To Source.Rows.Count

What does the 2 mean in this line

It means, that basically to start from Row 2 of the worksheet called Source
and go until the last row of Source. If Source.Rows.Count is less than 2
then the for loop is bypassed. If that function returns 2 then the for loop
is run one time. The code between the first For and the "next for" related
to this will be run the number of times given by the difference of
Source.Rows.Count and 2. (No it can not be "undone" by a negative value. :) )

It is the first number to start your count by. You are essentially counting
from index to Source.rows.count index starts at 2 and is then incremented in
the code that follows.

Rows.Count will be 65536 for any sheet, including Source, unless it is not
a worksheet, when it will error. So it will always run 65535 times, unless
index gets incremented inside the loop.

Running to the end of the rows seems superfluous, it should check for the
end of the data to stop unnecessary iterations of the loop.

Bob,
Unless the code is run in the upcoming Excel 12, which a limit of 1 million
(?) rows.
