Macro Excel Loop - vba

I have a problem with looping a Macro in excel.
I have a Data base where i need to add a row above each unique value and copy the value below into the new row.
untill now i have come up with this:
Sub Test()
'
' Sneltoets: Ctrl+K
' FindNextValueChangeInColumn Macro
'
Dim currentValue As String
Dim compareValue As String
currentValue = ActiveCell.Value
If (currentValue = "") Then
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Do While currentValue = compareValue
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Loop
Selection.EntireRow.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
This macro does the job, but i dont want to press ctrl-k 4000 times every time an update is necessary. Anyone knows how to loop this macro ?

Just wrap a for loop around the code you want executed:
Sub Test()
'
' Sneltoets: Ctrl+K
' FindNextValueChangeInColumn Macro
'
'-------Loop from 1 to 4000------------
Dim loopy
For loopy = 1 to 4000 'Loop 4000 times
'--------------------------------------
Dim currentValue As String
Dim compareValue As String
currentValue = ActiveCell.Value
If (currentValue = "") Then
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Do While currentValue = compareValue
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Loop
Selection.EntireRow.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial
End If
'-----Don't forget this line-----
Next loopy
'--------------------------------
Exit Sub
End Sub
Alternatively, you can use a while loop to loop until the currentValue = "":
Do
currentValue = ActiveCell.Value
If (currentValue = "") Then
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Do While currentValue = compareValue
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
compareValue = ActiveCell.Value
Loop
Selection.EntireRow.Insert , CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial
End If
Loop While currentValue <> ""

VBA Error 1004: PasteSpecial method of range class failed

I'm having a bit of trouble with any kind of paste method I use at the moment.
Data from one sheet must be cut and pasted to another, but I'm not sure what I'm missing.
The error occurs here, shortly after the commented "HERE" :
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Full code can be found below, thanks for any replies.

As has been noted, you really ought to rewrite this, but as a quick fix, add a range variable:
Dim rgCut as Excel.Range
then instead of this:
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Cut
use:
set rgCut = ActiveCell.EntireRow
and then replace this:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
with this:
rgCut.Cut Destination:=Selection.Cells(1)

Excel VBA Macro Code Inserting Unlimited Rows Without Stopping

The below code is automatically runs when a cell in a specified column changes and if it is not empty.

Exit Sub
Else
countmerged = -1

End If

ActiveCell.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents

if the value is the same value with the above cell, they are being merged and another row with the same formulas is inserted. This works without problem.
But if the value is not the same as the above cell, only a row must be inserted with the same formulas but it adds rows without stopping.
I don't think you are showing us the important part of the code (that sets this one off).
I would try disabling events since the macro is likely changing a cell and seeing that a cell is changed (inserted, whatever) starting your event again.
Try adding these at the beginning and ending of your macro.
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.EnableEvents = True

Looping depending on cell value

I need the macro to go down a column in Excel and run the TEST procedure until the cells are empty. The TEST procedure always ends with the cell you started with selected. Here is how it looks manually but I would like to code it to run on a loop until the cell in column "B" is empty. Thanks in advance for any help. Here is what I am doing now (without a loop):
Sub NotLooped()
Windows("Pattern Scanv4.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("DATA").Select
Range("B2").Select
Application.Run ("TEST")
If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = 0 Then
ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value > 0 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Application.Run ("TEST")
End If
If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = 0 Then
ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value > 0 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Application.Run ("TEST")
End If
'etc.................
If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = 0 Then
ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value > 0 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Application.Run ("TEST")
End If
If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = 0 Then
ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value > 0 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Application.Run ("TEST")
End If
End Sub
Try this:
Sub Looped()
Dim sht As Worksheet, rng as Range
Set sht = Workbooks("Pattern Scanv4.xlsm").Sheets("DATA")
sht.Parent.Activate
sht.Select
Set rng = sht.Range("B2")
Do While Len(rng.value) > 0
rng.Select
TEST
Set rng = rng.offset(1,0)
Loop
End Sub
However it would be much better if your code didn't rely on a particular sheet being active or a given range being selected.
If you modify your TEST Sub to add a Range parameter then you can pass rng directly to it.
i.e. instead of:
Sub TEST()
...do something with selection/activecell
you can do this:
Sub TEST(rng As Range)
...do something with rng
and call it like this:
TEST rng

copy row in vba - add the same autonumber to few rows

I try to copy in the excel few rows to a table, and give the same auto number to the rowa I add in each opparation.
I have a macro that copy the rows and gives the first line (of the new lines I just added) the next auto number. I want to add the same number to the other rows. (and each time there can be different numbers of rows, but not more then 16).
my macro is:
Sub copy_order()
'
'
Sheets("orders").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="product"
ActiveCell.Range("A1:D16").Select
Selection.Copy
Application.Goto Reference:="orders_table"
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C+1"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="product"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1:C1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Application.Goto Reference:="orders_table"
End Sub
thank you, Keren.
Not sure I followed all your offsets correctly, but this should get you close...
Sub copy_order()
Dim rngDest As Range, rngCopy As Range, sht As Worksheet, num
Dim c As Range
Set sht = Sheets("orders")
Set rngCopy = sht.Range("product").Range("A1:D16")
Set rngDest = sht.Range("orders_table").Cells(1).End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
rngDest.Resize(rngCopy.Rows.Count, rngCopy.Columns.Count).Value = rngCopy.Value
num = rngDest.Offset(-1, -1).Value + 1
Do While Application.CountA(rngDest.Resize(1, rngCopy.Columns.Count)) > 0
rngDest.Offset(0, -1).Value = num
Set rngDest = rngDest.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
End Sub
