Hello all, long time reader, first time poster.

I have been slowly, but surely, upgrading the sheets we use at work. These little upgrades have simplified things and removed many issues of error.

Now, I want to add one for laziness.

A have a batch of cells A2:U20 (for example) that we fill in information. Then, the same batch under that, more info, etc. There are 1000 batches because, sometimes, we need them. I already added a nifty code to hide the formulas and extra info
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Range("H4").Value = 1 Then
        Columns("F:W").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
        Range("H4").Value = 0
    End If
End Sub

But, I still have to hide the extra rows, so that printing space isnt wasted... going through 1000 batches is time consuming, and sometimes I have to come back to add more info so Deleting is not always an option.

So, to the help I need. I want the sheet to just have ONE batch, with a cell that is empty, but if I put in a number, it makes that amount of batches under the last one. THAT would be handy and ultimately, help me and others be a little more lazy.

NOTE: I did try with Macros and a code I found that offset the Active Cell info by (x,y) and that worked kinda.... but not really. So, I did try a bit before seeking help, not that lazy, lol.

Thanks in advance!

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
So to help me understand..

Say your blank cell is A1, and, you put the number 4 in there, you then want 4 new batches to be added under the last batch you currently have?

If this is right, what does a batch look like? Is one batch 20 columns wide and 19 rows down (I'm guessing from the A2:U20 part above)? Is there data there that you're copying from the other batches into the new ones?

Without seeing your workbook, I'm finding it a little hard to understand what 1 batch looks like, what data you want to show in a new batch and whether the new batch is created below your existing batches, or, to the side (the code you've shared above hides columns which suggests different batches are next to each other rather than below each other)

If you could be clearer and include a little more detail, might be able to help

This is it exactly, I would want the one, and if I put a 4 in A1 (for example) it will make this batch, 4 times, each after the last.
