I recorded a macro that will split what exist as one row into 8 rows for the last columns J:Q
My logic was to insert 7 rows above a selected cell (which exist below the cell that will be merged) and then merge the rows with the original existing row for columns A:I
This will give me one cell for A:I and 8 rows for J:Row End
