I have a button that adds 'x' amount of rows when desired number is entered. I feel this VBA is close and need help adjusting it. My data starts on row 5 and would like new blank (but containing formulas) added above the existing table. E,g,. pushes rows down.

A run-error '1004' pops up saying "this won't work because it would move cells in a table on your worksheet. I click debug and it highlights "Rng.Insert Shift:=x1Down"
Any help hugely appreciated

Code:


Sub AddRows()


Const BaseRow As Long = 5 ' modify to suit


Dim x As String ' InputBox returns text if 'Type' isn't specified
Dim Rng As Range
Dim R As Long


x = InputBox("How many rows would you like to add?", "Insert Rows")
If x = "" Then Exit Sub
R = BaseRow + CInt(x) - 1


Rows(BaseRow).Copy 'Copy BaseRow
'specify range to insert new cells
Set Rng = Range(Cells(BaseRow, 1), Cells(R, 1))
Rng.Insert Shift:=x1Down


' insert the new rows BEFORE BaseRow
' to insert below BaseRow use Rng.Offset(BaseRow - R)
Set Rng = Rng.Offset(BaseRow - R - 1).Resize(Rng.Rows.Count, ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count)
Rng.Select
On Error Resume Next
Rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
Application.CutCopyMode = False '
End Sub

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
False alarm.

It works when my table does not have headers. When the headers are re-entered the same message as before occurs. Unfortunately, I require the table to be sorted by A-Z, etc. Any ideas on this?
