Duplicate rows or columns by typing repeat times

If you have few columns or rows to be copied and you don't want to add a helpler column or row with duplicate times, you can just type the times in the Repeat Times text box. Please do as follows:

1. Click Kutools > Insert > Duplicate Rows / Columns based on cell value to enable the utility.

2. In the Copy and insert rows & columns dialog, you need to:

• Select the Copy and insert rows or Copy and insert columns option in the Type section. Here I selected Copy and insert rows as an example;
• Select the range you will duplicate the rows in the Insert Range box;
• Type non-negative integers that represent repeat times in the Repeat Times box:
  • Type a single positive integer, say 3. It means you will copy and insert each row of the Insert Range for 3 times;
  • Type non-negative integers for each row with semicolons as seperators. For example, you have selected the range $B$3:$E$6 in the Insert Range box, to copy and insert the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows of the range for a, b, c and d times respectively, you can just type a;b;c;d in the Repeat Times box. Note that the number 0 indicates no repetition.
• Click the OK or Apply button. See screenshot:

Note: The number of the non-negative integers in the Insert Range box must be the same as the number of rows or columns of the Insert Range.

Then the selected rows or columns will be duplicated as below screenshot shown.
