Insert blank row after a group of data using VBA

[Snail123]

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to insert 2 blank rows after a data change in a specific column (i.e. group the data), then to hide that column, and use the data entry as a title (in bold) for that group of data. For example;

Col A Col B
1234 Apple
5678 Apple
9876 Apple
1357 Pear
2468 Pear
9753 Pear

Would look like this:

Col A
Apple
1234
5678
9876

Pear
1357
2468
9753

I have found a code that inserts 2 rows after a data change, but not sure where to begin when trying to edit it to hide the data change column (D in this example) and to add the title to the 2nd new row:

Sub InsertRowAtChangeInValue()
Dim lRow As Long
For lRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(lRow, "D") <> Cells(lRow - 1, "D") Then
Rows(lRow).EntireRow.Insert
Rows(lRow).EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next lRow
End Sub

Thanks for your help in anticipation!

PS. I'm using MS Excel 2013.

Welcome to the Board!

You can use a Pivot Table:

Excel 2012
	A
3	Row Labels
4	Apple
5	5678
6	9876
7	Pear
8	1357
9	2468
10	9753
Sheet4

HTH,

You can just modify your own, not very efficient, code a bit like this, with your data in cols C and D. Also delete colD at the end if you don't want it.

Sub InsertRowAtChangeInValue()

Dim lRow As Long

For lRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(lRow, "D") <> Cells(lRow - 1, "D") Then
    Rows(lRow).Resize(2).EntireRow.Insert
    Cells(lRow + 2, "D").Copy Cells(lRow + 1, "C")
End If
Next lRow

'Range("D:D").ClearContents
End Sub

Thank you Smitty for your suggestion and warm welcome! kalak your code works very well - thank you. My only question is how can I make the header row: Cells(lRow + 2, "D").Copy Cells(lRow + 1, "C") become bold?

There's a formatting and etc. ribbon at the top of very post you make in MrExcel.

Not quite what I meant, but I have solved it by adding in this bit of code: Font.Bold = True. Thanks for your help earlier.
