Sub BlankLine()
	'Updateby20150203
	Dim Rng As Range
	Dim WorkRng As Range
	On Error Resume Next
	xTitleId                   = "KutoolsforExcel"
	Set WorkRng                = Application.Selection
	Set WorkRng                = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set WorkRng                = WorkRng.Columns(1)
	xLastRow                   = WorkRng.Rows.Count
	Application.ScreenUpdating = False
	For xRowIndex = xLastRow To 1 Step - 1
		Set Rng                   = WorkRng.Range("A" & xRowIndex)
		If Rng.Value = "0" Then
			Rng.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Insert Shift: = xlDown
		End If
	Next
	Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

3. Click F5 key or the Run button, a dialog pops out, and select the column contains zero. See screenshot:

4. Click OK. Then blank rows will be inserted below zero value.

Tip:

1. If you want to insert rows based on other value, you can change 0 to any value you want in the VBA: If Rng.Value = "0" Then.

2. If you want to insert rows above zero or other value, you can use the below vba code.

VBA: Insert row above zero value:

Sub BlankLine()
	'Updateby20150203
	Dim Rng As Range
	Dim WorkRng As Range
	On Error Resume Next
	xTitleId                   = "KutoolsforExcel"
	Set WorkRng                = Application.Selection
	Set WorkRng                = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set WorkRng                = WorkRng.Columns(1)
	xLastRow                   = WorkRng.Rows.Count
	Application.ScreenUpdating = False
	For xRowIndex = xLastRow To 1 Step - 1
		Set Rng                   = WorkRng.Range("A" & xRowIndex)
		If Rng.Value = "0" Then
			Rng.EntireRow.Insert Shift: = xlDown
		End If
	Next
	Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
