    Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    hi
    i have data with up to thousands of rows down, there's a blank row in between them, and now i like to enter sub info using =formula in that blank rows, its going to be the same sub info for all line, but this sub info can go up to 1000 rows

    at the moment i can copy this sub info from the 1st line and insert copied cell in the 2 blank row with shift cell down, no problem, works great but not so great if you have thousand of line to be inserted with this sub info, i'm talking about almost ten thousands, probably going to take over 3-6 months to do this,
    can anyone please help me here

    option that i thought might help: create enough space(if 900 rows needed than insert new 899 rows in between? 899 blank rows x lets say(1000 main info) so i can paste multiple times? that still going to take months

    please help

    everything from row 2 to row 29 is a sub info that need to be copy underneath main info

    thank you thank you thank you

    Clean out your test sheet leaving only the first range of SubInfo and have a try with this macro, no idea on how much time it will take as I tested on a cut down sheet with only a 100 SubMain:

    Click on the sheets' name tab | click View Code | paste the macro in the right panel | go back to your sheet and press Alt+F8 and use the macro.
    Or press Alt+F11 to view VB | then on the left select your sheet | paste the macro in the right panel | go back to your sheet and press Alt+F8 and use the macro.
    Please test on a copy of your Excel file.

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    in a =a1, =b1, =c1 format or 1 2 3?i should leave only 1st sub main info

    since you tested with 100 sub main, what happen if i want to copy it 1000, 1001, 6327(any number basically) do i need different macros?

    thank you

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    To use the macro just cut the rows from 31 to 58 of the sheet you attached to post #1 since as submain you have only rows from 2 to 29. If I correctly understood your requirement these are the only rows to be repeated through the sheet.

    No need of changes, the macro will (should) run till it fills up (and then crash) all the available rows (last row for my Excel 2003 is 65536) whatever the number of rows for Subinfo or Submain.

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    hi rollis13

    what if i paste the sub info first the the main, sound simpler, what do you think?

    lets say i have 3000 main info means 3000 sub info, i copy the main info first 3000x times, then ( or first) put a row in between them, when its done the i paste the main info, of course the sub info will be all 0 0 0 until i enter the main info

    or should i do what you suggest me bit by bit so the system wont crash, says 100 main info each time?

    thank you

    Yes, the SubMains may have more than 8 columns but the 1st and 2nd have to be at least 1 column more than all the rows of the SubInfo.
    Here is where the test is done to calculate the rows of the SubInfo. Column "H" may be changed but must be at least 1 more than the SubInfo:

    No need to put a blank row in between the SubMains, just change 1 line of the macro:

    To work the macro needs to find in your sheet at least 2 SubMains and the first set of SubInfo after the first SubMain.
    You can easily calculate your total rows to avoid the crash. You know how many rows your sheet manages so ... you know how SubMains you have, you know how many rows a SubInfo has ... just multiply.

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    hi rollis13

    i understand that main info just need to be more than subinfo (in this matter more than 6 numbers) , thanks for that, but what if the subinfo is more that 6 numbers? in example below (9 numbers) what changes need to be make?

    example

    main: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
    subinfo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 11
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 12

    main info more than 8
    subinfo more than 6

    what changes need to be make?

    kind regards

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    As for the main just test the last column (L=12) to calculate the number of rows used by the subinfo so change the code:

    If the subinfo has more than 6 columns just change the "F" (F=6) to the letter of the last column (I=9) of the subinfo range in the code:

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    hi rollis13

    i have 1 more question please, example attach

    after all subinfo are being paste, i like to combine or merge those subinfo cells in to 1 cell using =A2&" "&B2&" "&C2&" "&D2

    and copy it down but only the subinfo cell, double click on the + does help, but the process stop because of the empty row
    right, i actually don't need an empty row, and yes you've told me how

    the question is

    if there's no empty rown in between, can i paste those merging formula but skip every 16th row(main info)

    but i like to do this after i apply the macro

    i know if only i don't need to skip the main info and no empty row blocking, i can paste the whole thing in a single click

    or maybe after, i can copy the result and paste it to a new document and the delete every 16th row there??

    kind regards

    Re: Insert Copied Cells multiple times, shift cell down

    Hi System,

    A simple way of doing this thing is,

    first copy and paste complete data as it is in the second sheet,now in second sheet give the formula =if(sheet1!a2>=1,sheet1!a2,sheet1!a1). in one blank row type sub info. now copy the formula then paste using this combination shift+cntl+end, the select one column and then paste. then copy entire sheet and paste as value. work is done.
