Insert row every X rows in excel

I have a large set of data (let’s say it goes from B5 to J500 and let’s say this range is named rngOutput). I am trying to go through this data and add 2 empty rows every x number of rows where x is a number the user specifies. For example if x is 10 then every 10 rows 2 new rows should be inserted. Conceptually, this is the code that should work:

For i = 1 to Number of rows in rngOutput
   If i mod x = 0 Then
        Insert 2 Rows
   End If
Next i

However, when you insert 2 new rows, the row count changes and the formula messes up (i.e. it adds 2 rows after the first 10 rows, then it adds another 2 rows after the next 8 rows (since it counts those 2 new rows you added as actual rows) then it adds another 2 rows after the next 6 rows, etc.

I am trying to figure out a way to accomplish adding 2 new rows every x number of rows cleanly to avoid the above problem.

Thank you for the help and please let me know if you need additional clarification!

Answer 1

Count from the bottom of the range

For i = Number of rows in rngOutput to 1 step -1
   If i mod x = 0 Then
        Insert 2 Rows
   End If
Next i
