Hello,

Sub AC_tab_Matchup()

ActiveCell.Range("A1:A31").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 11).Range("A1:A31").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -10).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 12).Range("A1:A31").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -10).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:I31").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -3).Range("A1:A30").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "m/dd/yy;@"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1:A30").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "m/dd/yy;@"
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-1
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -6).Range("A1:G30").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AC").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AC").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=ActiveCell.Range( _
"A1:A30"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("AC").Sort
.SetRange ActiveCell.Range("A1:G30")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
End Sub

Sub InsertRowsAtValueChange()
'Update by Extendoffice
Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = WorkRng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
If WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Value <> WorkRng.Cells(i - 1, 1).Value Then
WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
For the second part of your code, try using this instead.
VBA Code:
Sub InsertRows()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
    If Range("A" & i).Value <> Range("A" & i - 1).Value Then Rows(i).Insert
Next i
End Sub

Are you able to share an example of what your data looks like and what the expected results are?

I tried replacing the second part with your code, it still didn't add the blank rows. This is the result of my macro. its only missing the blank rows between AC1 & AC3. Thanks

I'm a bit confused, did the second part of the code not work at all? Or did it just fail to insert a blank row between rows 29259 & 29260?

the result of the macro is as i showed in the snapshot. it just didn't insert a blank row. the 2nd part of the code i was referring to in my original post did work by itself, i just don't know why not now.

It is hard for most of us to be able to help without seeing an example of the data. Do all the columns end in row 29260 etc. It would be a lot easier to help if you could provide a sample of what the initial data looks like and what the expected results are. It is much easier for us if you provided a sample using XL2BB.

The part I provided is working as intended on my end.

Does closing and reopening Excel help at all as it pertains to XL2BB?

I can't replicate your issue as the 2nd part of the Macro works on my end(with a slight alteration).

VBA Code:
Sub InsertRows()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 3 Step -1
    If Range("A" & i).Value <> Range("A" & i - 1).Value Then Rows(i).Insert
Next i
End Sub
