    Grouping rows similar to outlining with blank row in between

    I have a sheet with 36000 rows I need to edit. There are 9 columns. Column A has groups of numbers as the rows go down the sheet. I would lkike to insert a blank row after each unique grouping of numbers.
    See attached sample.

    Hi StreekyD

    In the attached I assumed you have a Header Row. Let me know of issues.

    @ChemistB

    Your approach is the one I normally would have suggested but I was concerned about this
    I have a sheet with 36000 rows
    What do you think?

    Re: Grouping rows similar to outlining with blank row in between

    Thank you for the response Jaslake and ChemistB
    Yes I do have Header rows. I tried the sample file you attached.

    So what/where/how do I apply your resolve? I know enough to get me in trouble but an not intuitive to understand how to apply.
    It appears this is a macro. I can copy the macro to my sheet but do not understand how to make it run

    Do I need to add a sheet with the headers? Like you did?

    Re: Grouping rows similar to outlining with blank row in between

    Hi StreekyD

    There's a couple ways to do this...we'll take the easiest route first...please answer these few questions:
    1. What's the NAME of the File where your data lives?
    2. Are there any LINKS in the File (to other Workbooks for example)?
    3. What's the NAME of the Tab where your data lives?
    4. Are there any REFERENCES to other worksheets in this Tab (in Formulas for example)?
    5. In Excel 2010 do you have Developer in your Ribbon (way up on top)?

    Re: Grouping rows similar to outlining with blank row in between

    For Jaslake's macro,
    first, insert a new sheet and name it Lists (or rename a blank sheet Lists)
    second, Hit Alt F11 to open the VBA editor.
    Insert> Module and paste his code in that text box.
    Change "Sheet1" to "Price Compare" wherever it appears in the code
    Close VBA editor
    and go to the Developer tab or View Tab and click on the Macro's icon and run Insert_breaks

    For mine, the same thing except without the List sheet.
    Any questions?
