Hey all,

I have about 400 rows of data in Column A in a spreadsheet, and I need to take each individual row (in A) and copy/duplicate it twice, directly below the originals.

For instance:

OLD COLUMN A

1
2
3
...

NEW COLUMN A

1
1
1
2
2
2
3
3
3
...
...
...

Additionally, in Column B I have three different rows that need to be duplicated together, similar to column A. But, Column B should only be "extended" as far as Column A goes.

OLD COLUMN B

X
Y
Z

NEW COLUMN B

X
Y
Z
X
Y
Z
X
Y
Z
...
...
...

Thank you very much for your help!!!

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
I wrote a small macro to help you extend column A as required
Code:
Sub ExtendData()
    For I = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
        Rows(I + 1).Resize(2).Insert
        Cells(I + 1, "A") = Cells(I, "A")
        Cells(I + 2, "A") = Cells(I, "A")
    Next I
End Sub

Once A is extended, all you need do is go to column B, highlight from row(1) to the end(last used row), then using the cross at the bottom right corner of the bottom cell, double click and it should fill the data down as required like

42x
52y

73x
83y

104x
114y
124z
135x
