	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 Sub

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

	On Error Resume Next

	Set WorkRng                = Application.Selection
	Set WorkRng                = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set WorkRng                = WorkRng.Columns(1)
