Inserting duplicate rows (from multiple columns) based on numeric values in a column

A few years ago I made a blog post on “Inserting duplicate rows based on numeric values in a column”. Click here to view this blog post. I recently had an inquiry on this post from one of my viewers.

A commentor asked about how to copy multiple columns (e.g. Column A:J contains data. Column K is your "# of Test Cases"). In this blog post, I will address this question.

My original blog post only contained data in columns A and B, but what if we have data contained in columns A through J and the “# of test cases” is located in column K as per the screenshot below:

Here is a simple approach for achieving this without needing to even revise the macro.

Step 1] Concatenate columns A through J.

Step 2] Place the concatenated string in column A (copy and paste as text) and the “# of test cases” in column B. Make sure to place them in “Sheet 1” of your spreadsheet or alternatively revise the sheet name in the macro code.

Step 3] Run the macro. Here is the result.

Step 4] Separate the data fields using "text to column" feather in the data tab of the ribbon.

Use hyphen (i.e. “–“) as the delimiter.

​It’s all done. Here is the result.

​Note] You will need to copy paste the original column headers manually.
