Hello I have a spreadsheet of well log soil/geology depth and thicknesses in feet. Each row has a distinct soil type. Below are three wells 14000000030 & 14000000031 & 14000000032. For instance the 1st well has 3 rows has the 1st soil type from LITH_AGG is Sand & Gravel from 0-55 feet. The 2nd is Clay & Sand from 55-59 feet and the 3rd is Sand & Gravel from 59-86 feet. I need to breakdown each of the depths/thicknesses in 1 foot increments. So the 1st 1st soil type from LITH_AGG is Sand & Gravel from 0-55 feet would end up being 55 rows, 1 for each 1 foot of depth. And so on

This is what I was hoping on getting of 1 row per foot depth

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Try This
VBA Code:
Sub Num_Rw_Cell_Val1()
'Quoted from Fluff VBA script Code :https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/transpose-every-x-amount-of-columns-to-rows-keeping-cell-of-first-column-on-each-row.1157009/post-5610934
Dim Rng As Range

Dim ArrVal As Variant, CompArr As Variant

Set Rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
ArrVal = Rng.CurrentRegion.Value2
SumCL8 = Application.Sum(Rng.Columns(8))
ReDim CopmArr(1 To SumCL8 + 10, 1 To Rng.Columns.Count)
For r = 2 To UBound(ArrVal)
    For c = 8 To 8
        If IsNumeric(ArrVal(r, c)) = True Then
            NumRw = ArrVal(r, c)
            For rw = 1 To NumRw

                For cl = 1 To 9
                CopmArr(nr, cl) = ArrVal(r, c + cl - 8)
                Next
            Next
        End If

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

I'm hoping that you have some typos in your sample data and expected results.
A few examples:
  1. Sand goes from 1 to 20 in the data but the deepest sand in your results is 18 to 19
  2. Sand & Gravel starts at 18 in the data but starts at 19 in the results
  3. Sand & Gravel has thickness of 6 in the data but 4 in the results.

This would be my interpretation of what you want.

VBA Code:
Sub LayerByFoot()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim i As Long, k As Long, r As Long, c As Long, ubb2 As Long
  
  a = Range("A2", Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
  ReDim b(1 To Rows.Count, 1 To 12)
  ubb2 = UBound(b, 2)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    r = 0
    For r = a(i, 6) To a(i, 7) - 1
      k = k + 1
      For c = 1 To 8
        b(k, c) = a(i, c)
      Next c
      b(k, 9) = r
      b(k, 10) = r + 1
      b(k, 11) = 1
      b(k, 12) = a(i, 9)
    Next r
  Next i
  Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(3).Resize(k, ubb2).Value = b
End Sub

Here is my sample data with results below.

Solution
Yes you were right I did have some typos, sorry. Wow this worked the 1st time I tried it. Thank you so much. One thing is that it overwrote the 2 of the existing columns that have important data. Would it be possible to have it write to 2 new fields at the end of the table in columns N and O, like TOP1FTI DEPTH1FTI? Would it be possible to have it write the data to a new sheet?
Again, thank you so much.

Like this?

VBA Code:
Sub LayerByFoot_v2()
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim i As Long, k As Long, r As Long, c As Long, ubb2 As Long
  
  a = Range("A2", Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
  ReDim b(1 To Rows.Count, 1 To 12)
  ubb2 = UBound(b, 2)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    r = 0
    For r = a(i, 6) To a(i, 7) - 1
      k = k + 1
      For c = 1 To 8
        b(k, c) = a(i, c)
      Next c
      b(k, 9) = r
      b(k, 10) = r + 1
      b(k, 11) = 1
      b(k, 12) = a(i, 9)
    Next r
  Next i
  With Sheets.Add(After:=ActiveSheet).Range("A2").Resize(k, ubb2)
    .Value = b
    .Rows(0).Value = Array("WELLID", "SEQ_NUM", "PRIM_LITH", "LITH_MOD", "LITH_AGG", "TOP", "DEPTH", "THICKNESS", "TOP1FT", "DEPTH1FT", "THICKNESS1FT", "AQTYPE")
    .EntireColumn.AutoFit
  End With
End Sub
