Copy Row X amount of times based on cell value - vba

Question

The macro copies and pastes the values of a row X amount of times based on a cell value in M2. It pastes the exact numbers over and over. Is there a way to change it so that numbers will ascend as they are copied down?
E.g. if A2 contains "hello 3", after running the macro A3 will contain "hello 4", A4 will contain "hello 5".
Sub Sample()
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet
Dim lRow_I As Long, lRow_O As Long, i As Long, j As Long
'~~> Set your input and output sheets
Set wsI = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set wsO = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
'~~> Output row
lRow_O = wsO.Range("A" & wsO.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
With wsI
'~~> Get last row of input sheet
lRow_I = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Loop through the rows
For i = 2 To lRow_I
'~~> This will loop the number of time required
'~~> i.e the number present in cell M
For j = 1 To Val(Trim(.Range("M" & i).Value))
'~~> This copies
.Rows(i).Copy wsO.Rows(lRow_O)
'~~> Get the next output row
lRow_O = wsO.Range("A" & wsO.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Next j
Next i
End With
End Sub

Answer 1

Actually no need for j loop if you use resize method.
Sub Sample()
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet, lCounter As Long
Dim lRow_I As Long, lRow_O As Long, i As Long
Set wsI = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set wsO = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
With wsI
lCounter = Val(Trim(.Range("M" & i).Value))
lRow_I = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lRow_I
lRow_O = wsO.Range("A" & wsO.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
.Rows(i).Copy wsO.Rows(lRow_O).Resize(lCounter)
Next i
End With

Answer 2

I upgrade my solution to have the "counter" incremented
Sub Sample()
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet
Dim lRow_I As Long, lRow_O As Long, i As Long, nRowsToPaste As Long
Dim rngToCopy As Range, rngToPaste As Range
'~~> Set your input and output sheets
Set wsI = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetI")
Set wsO = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetO") '<=== I made it different that wsI
'~~> Output row
lRow_O = wsO.Range("A" & wsO.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row + 1
With wsI
'~~> Get last row of input sheet
lRow_I = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
'~~> Loop through the rows
For i = 2 To lRow_I
nRowsToPaste = val(Trim(.Range("M" & i).Value)) '<== set number of rows to be pasted
Set rngToCopy = .Range(.Cells(i, 1), .Cells(i, wsI.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)) '<== set range to be copied
Set rngToPaste = wsO.Rows(lRow_O).Resize(1, rngToCopy.Columns.Count) '<== set 1st row of the range to be pasted
rngToCopy.Copy rngToPaste '<== copy&paste the 1st row in wsO sheet '<== copy and paste the 1st row
Call Prefix(rngToPaste) '<== differentiate each single cell of pasted range by means of adding a different prefix. this will subsequently have autofill method work on cells with originally the same value as well
With rngToPaste
.AutoFill .Resize(nRowsToPaste + 1) ' <== fill all rows exploiting AutoFill method, which will work on every column being their 1st row different from each other
.Resize(nRowsToPaste + 1).Replace What:="%%*%%", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart '<== remove prefix
End With
lRow_O = lRow_O + nRowsToPaste + 1 '<== GET the next output row
Next i
End With
End Sub
Sub Prefix(rng As Range)
Dim j As Long
With rng
For j = 1 To .Columns.Count
.Cells(1, j).Value = "%%" & j & "%%" & .Cells(1, j).Value
Next j
End With
End Sub
where it eliminates the need of the inner j-loop and simply upgrades the lRow_O
