Insert a number of rows based on a cell value and insert a new string in said rows.

[Lv1254]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to excel VBA/macro etc. I have experience with R and python, but can't use those for my job, sadly.

I am trying to create an 'interactive' Excel file, where a user is asked questions and depending on the answer more questions will be asked.

I have found the following code, which creates a value based on a numeric value in a column:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  3/19/2022  6:19:43 AM  EDT
If Target.Column = 11 Then
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
Rows(Target.Row).Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Insert
Rows(Target.Row).Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Value = Rows(Target.Row).Value
End If
End Sub

I adapted it to specify a specific cell and not just a column:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  3/19/2022  6:19:43 AM  EDT
If Target.Column = 11 And Target.Row = 2 Then
If Target.Cells.CountLarge > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
Rows(Target.Row).Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Insert
Rows(Target.Row).Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Value = Rows(Target.Row).Value
End If
End Sub

However, If I try to change "Rows(Target.Row).Value" to a string such as "What is the value of Room #X", it fills the entire column range. I have tried to adapt the code but my knowledge is very limited. What would I have to adapt to obtain the following result (images):

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Board!

Try this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

'   Exit if multiple cells updated at once
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
'   Only run if cell B11 updated with a number greater than 0
    If Target.Address = "$B$11" And Target.Value >= 1 Then
        Rows(Target.Row).Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Insert
        Cells(Target.Row, "A").Offset(1).Resize(Target.Value).Formula = "=""Volume of bottle #"" & ROW()-11"
    End If
    
End Sub

Note that your "COUNTLARGE" should be the first thing you check, because if it is greater than 1, than your "Target" range is not one cell, but many.
