Inserting a new row in Excel through VBA can be really important for a user when he needs to insert a new row through a code. You would need to insert a row in Excel through VBA when you want to automate the process of adding a new row to your worksheet. This can be useful when you have a large amount of data and you need to frequently add new rows, or when you have a repetitive task that requires inserting new rows.
Step 1 – Enable Developer Option

Step 3 – Insert Row using VBA Code
– The VBA Editor is a white window where you can write any code to automate your tasks. We’ll use a very simple command to insert a row in the active workbook. To use the insert command effectively, you need to specify a cell where you wish to insert the new row. In our case we want to insert a blank row and use it as a half month data separator.
– Following code can be used to insert the row at Row # 16 in the current sheet as shown in the image as well. To run the code press F5 or if you want to run the code from inside the Editor then press the green play button .
