Rows in an Excel worksheet can be repeated a specified number of times with the help of a user-defined function. A user defined function can be written to repeat rows a specified number of times. The Selection.insert command can be used to insert rows in the worksheet of Excel Office software and there is no need to write the code from scratch as code snippets are freely available for use in worksheets. However, one must ensure that the user-defined function or subroutine to repeat rows a specified number of times is inserted in the right place.

Code to Repeat Rows a Specified Number of Times
Users can try this code:
Sub CopyData()
Dim lRow As Long
Dim RepeatFactor As Variant
lRow = 1
Do While (Cells(lRow, "A") <> "")
RepeatFactor = Cells(lRow, "B")
If ((RepeatFactor > 1) And IsNumeric(RepeatFactor)) Then
Range(Cells(lRow, "A"), Cells(lRow, "B")).Copy
Range(Cells(lRow + 1, "A"), Cells(lRow + RepeatFactor - 1, "B")).Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
lRow = lRow + RepeatFactor - 1
End If
lRow = lRow + 1
Loop
End Sub
