INSERT Number of Rows based on Cell Value and populate rows below with initial value

Hi there

I have a spreadsheet with the following data

COL A | COL B | COL C

101.0001| 18 | abc

101.0020 | 4 | def

101.0025 00| 74 | ghi

101.0100 etc. etc.

102.0001 | 2 | jkl

102.0004 etc

Column B is just the difference in values between column A1 and Column A2 - 1. This gives the number of rows to insert between each row.

I can use the following code to insert the correct number of rows between each:

Sub testProc()
 Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
 Dim r, count As Range
 Dim LastRow As Long
 Dim temp As Integer
 Set r = Range("A:C")
 Set count = Range("B:B")
 LastRow = Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
 For n = LastRow To 1 Step -1
 temp = Range("B" & n)
 If (temp > 1) Then
 Rows(n + 1 & ":" & n + temp).Insert Shift:=xlDown
 End If
 Next n
End Sub

However, what I need to do is populate all of the new "in between" rows with the value in the initial row so that rows 1 to 10 are populated with the value 101.0001 and the new rows after 101.0020 are populated with 101.0020 and the new rows after 101.0025 are populated with 101.0025 etc etc.

Also, if possible, I would like to populate column C with the starting values consequtively +1 so that ultimately after the macro is run the table would look like:

COL A | COL B | COL C

101.0001| 18 | 101.0001

101.0001| | 101.0002

101.0001| | 101.0003

101.0001| | 101.0004

101.0001| | 101.0005

101.0001| | 101.0006

101.0001| | 101.0007

101.0001| | 101.0008

101.0001| | 101.0009

101.0001| | 101.0010

101.0001| | 101.0011

101.0001| | 101.0012

101.0001| | 101.0013

101.0001| | 101.0014

101.0001| | 101.0015

101.0001| | 101.0016

101.0001| | 101.0017

101.0001| | 101.0018

101.0001| | 101.0019

101.0020 | 4 | 101.0020

101.0020 | | 101.0021

101.0020 | | 101.0022

101.0020 | | 101.0023

101.0020 | | 101.0024

102.0001 | 2 | 102.0001

102.0001 | | 102.0002

102.0001 | | 102.0003

etc. etc.

Note that what is in Column C is not purely consequtive. There may be a reasonably easy Excel formula that may be dragged down to generate what is in column C from Column A but it it can all be done with a Macro that would be great.

What is in Column A is an underlying *.PDF file name and what is in colum C is the page number in that PDF.

I hope that makes sense.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Roy

Sample workbook attached. You will see there are two sheets. The first is what I start with and the second is the output I am looking for. I hope that is clear enough. Please let me know if it is not.

Cheers
