Streamline Your Excel Workflow: Insert Rows with VBA Effortlessly

If you're managing spreadsheets with multiple tables, you might find yourself needing to insert additional rows frequently. This task can become tedious and time-consuming, especially if you're manually selecting cells and copying formulas every time. Fortunately, using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) can automate this process, allowing you to add rows quickly and efficiently. In this guide, we'll walk you through creating a simple VBA solution to insert rows into a table at the press of a button, with just a few easy steps.

The Problem

Imagine you are working in an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs, each containing data tables. Each time you want to add new entries to these tables, it takes time to select a cell at the bottom of the table, insert one or more rows, and copy any formulas from the previous row. Wouldn't it be great to automate this process so that you can do it with just the click of a button?

To help you achieve this, we will write a VBA code snippet that allows you to:

Ask how many rows to insert

Default to inserting one row if no input is given

Copy formulas automatically from the row above the newly inserted rows

The Solution

Step 1: Setting Up the Macros

We will create a macro for each table that will serve as the button you can click to insert new rows. To do this, update your VBA module with the following code:

Replace Table1 and Table2 with the actual names of the tables for each of your sheets. This creates a macro that's tailored for each table.

Step 2: Creating a Generic Row-Insertion Procedure

Now, let's focus on the core functionality: inserting rows. Below is the generic code you'll use to handle row insertion for any specified table.

Explanation of the Code

InputBox for Row Count: The procedure asks the user for the number of rows to add. If no input is provided, it defaults to adding one row.

Identifying the Target Table: The code identifies the specific table you are targeting using targetTableName, which ensures that the correct table is modified without needing to select it manually.

Resizing the Table: The Resize method alters the table's range to accommodate the new rows specified. This means the new rows will simply appear at the bottom of the table, alongside any formulas copied from the previous row.

Conclusion

With the steps outlined above, you can now easily insert rows at the bottom of your specified tables with just a click of a button, while also retaining all necessary formulas from existing rows. This VBA solution not only saves you time but also reduces the risk of errors when managing your spreadsheets.
