I am hoping someone can help me with the following script.
It changes before to after as follows. I am hoping to change it so that it splits any row like the last row where there are two lookup occurrences ("firewall") and adds a row. Please note how I want row 12 in the "After" to change to rows 12 and 14 as in "Desired after". In fact, if it has third occurrence of "firewall", it should split that again and add row 16.

Additionally, the data in the column A can be anywhere and not necessarily begin at A1. It gives me error if it does not start at A1. I got the script from the web and don't fully understand to do any of these two modifications on my own. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

            End If
            sCount = sCount + 1
            Set sCell = rg.FindNext(sCell)
        Loop Until sCell.Address = FirstAddress
        trg.EntireRow.Insert
    End If
