    Function or Macro to Insert empty rows above "missing" flag

    Hi everyone,
    I am again in need of urgent help!

    I could not find a solution to my problem in the previous posts and I am not an excel expert.

    I am processing an infinite set of data from a meteorological station here in Alaska which gives me half hourly data reading with a time stamp 00.00, 00.30, 01.00, 01.30, 02.00, 02.30 and so on.

    I am using this formula to detect every time half hour reading is skipped (=IF(TEXT(MOD(B1936-B1934,1),"[M]")="30","","missing")) and it works pretty well.
    Still I have to check and manually insert extra missing for every half hour missing but that's bearable.

    This formula inserts a "missing" every time it finds a gap.

    My question is: How can I insert a row above every cell with "missing"?

    How do I do that? I am not expert in excel macros....actually I know almost nothing.
    Here is also my excel sheet.

    CR1000_Meteo_20131113_2_CLEANED.xlsx

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Best regards

    Using your posted workbook...
    • Select Col_B
    • CTRL+F...to open the Find window
    ...Find what: missing
    ...Look in: Values (if this isn't displaying...click the Options button)
    ...Click: Find All
    ...CTRL+A...to select all matches
    ...Click: Close

    While the matched cells are still selected
    • Home.Insert.Insert_Sheet_Rows

    Is that something you can work with?

    Ron I will give it a try!
    If it works it would be a great help already.
    I was trying to use the find tool but it didn't find them so, I guess, I was stupid enough to miss something..

    I will let you know!

    Ron It works!!
    And it's pretty neat!

    Sometimes the solution is just under your nose......
    Thanks a lot!

    PS
    I guess there is no simple way to find where there is more than a half hour missng like between 01:30 and 3:30?
    Anyway thanks again!
