So basically I have data arragned like...

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
........

**NOTE** The source range is dynamic, not static, so although it is always 8 columns, it can be any number of rows.
I'm using Selection.End(xlDown), etc to copy the source range to account for this.

Then I want to copy/paste/re-arrange via macro so that the paste destination looks like...

1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8
1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8
1,2,3,4
5,6,7,8
....
....

I know I should be able to do this, and I've searched for the answer, but I think I'm not describing my issue with the correct terms.
Can anyone please help me?

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

There is no need to repeat the link(s) provided above but if you have posted the question at other places, please provide links to those as well.

If you do cross-post in the future and also provide links, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

I apologize, but they looked like completely different forums, to me.
I even have separate logins.

I'm confused. What's the deal?

No idea where your data starts (A1?) or where the destination is, but please adjust the following code to suit your actual case. This demo assumes contiguous data from A1 & the destination is J1.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Stack4()
    Dim a, b, i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
    a = Range("A1").CurrentRegion
    ReDim b(1 To UBound(a, 1) * 2, 1 To 4)
    j = 1
    
    For i = 1 To UBound(b, 1)
        For k = 1 To 4
            b(i, k) = a(j, k)
        Next k
        i = i + 1
        For k = 1 To 4
            b(i, k) = a(j, k + 4)
        Next k
        j = j + 1
    Next i
    Range("J1").Resize(UBound(b, 1), 4) = b
End Sub

I forgot to mention that the source and destination are on different worksheets.
I think I can modify this code to account for that... thanks!
