Repeat Cell Value X Times

Here we will first create a VBA module and then select the range of data to complete the task. So let us see a simple process to know how you can repeat a cell value x time in Excel.

Step 1

Consider an Excel sheet where you have a list of cells with times to repeat, similar to the below image.

First, right-click on the sheet name and select View code to open the VBA application.

Right-click > View Code.

Step 2

Then click on Insert and select Module, then copy the below code into the text box.

Insert > Module > Copy.

Code

Sub CopyData()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim InputRng As Range, OutRng As Range
xTitleId = "Repeat Value X Times"
Set InputRng = Application.Selection
Set InputRng = Application.InputBox("Range :", xTitleId, InputRng.Address, Type:=8)
Set OutRng = Application.InputBox("Output Cell (single cell):", xTitleId, Type:=8)
Set OutRng = OutRng.Range("A1")
For Each Rng In InputRng.Rows
   xValue = Rng.Range("A1").Value
   xNum = Rng.Range("B1").Value
   OutRng.Resize(xNum, 1).Value = xValue
   Set OutRng = OutRng.Offset(xNum, 0)
Next
End Sub

Step 3

Then click F5 to run the module. Then select the range of cells and click OK.

F5 > Select Cells > OK

Step 4

Then select a single destination cell and click OK to complete the task.

Select Cell > OK.

This is how you can repeat a cell value x time in Excel.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have used a simple example to demonstrate how you can repeat a cell value x time in Excel to highlight a particular set of data.
