    Dim lr As Long
    Dim r As Long
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
'   Find last row in column E with data

'   If there are any values in column E, loop through column E backwards, from last row to first
    If lr > 2 Then
        For r = lr To 2 Step -1
'           See if anything in column E
            If Cells(r, "E") <> "" Then
'               Insert blank row below
                Rows(r + 1).Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
'               Copy value from row to new row
                Rows(r).Copy Rows(r + 1)
'               Clear value from column E on current row
                Cells(r, "E").ClearContents
            End If
        Next r
    End If
       
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

You are welcome.

I put documentation in my code to try to explain/show what each step does.
Hope that is helpful.
