Default separate lines in excel

I posted this in this group on saturday.

The first half is my question.

The 2nd half is the response.

My question today...

What do I do with it. I think it goes into the visual basic editor but I
have been wrong before. Thats why I am here.

If that is the case how do I run it. If not the case what do I do with it.

Can I copy and paste it?

Thanks

Question
Here is a problem I have:
123456789
134567890
135678901
1456789012
157890123
this group of numbers is in my Sheet and each line is in a row by itself and
they are in 9 different columns. for brevity I just used 9 numbers for each
line. I need to know if there is a way to auto insert a row between each
individual number. My real SS will have about 900 rows with 60 characters
per row that I have already performed text to columns on. There Can be as
few as 1 row per number or as many as 25 rows per number. in the sample
above the second number would be the dividing line Please help


Sub InsertRow_At_Change()
'Sandy Mann July 1st, 2007
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim X As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For X = LastRow To 3 Step -1
If Cells(X, 1).Value Cells(X - 1, 1).Value Then
If Cells(X, 1).Value "" Then
If Cells(X - 1, 1).Value "" Then
Cells(X, 1).entirerow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
End If
End If
Next X

You can either remove that line or remark that line by using a ' apostrophe
in front...(which is already there).....

You may also try the below ones which does the same with values at ColA

Sub InsertBlankRowsbetweenChangingValues()
Dim lngRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For lngRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Range("A" & lngRow) "" And Range("A" & lngRow - 1) "" And _
Range("A" & lngRow) Range("A" & lngRow - 1) Then Rows(lngRow).Insert
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I posted the macro with an apsotrophe before the Sandy Mann line.

That makes it a comment.

You must have removed the apostrophe.

Either add it back or just delete the line entyirely.
