Thanks for the advice.

To clarify, I would like to insert a blank row after every fourth row of data down to row 1001.

Off googling now.

You could do this ~
Using 2 helper columns H and I
Select cell A1:I1 and click data menu, filter
In H1 type 3
In H2 next to your first date Paste =IF(H1=3,1,H1+1)and fill down till end of data.
In I3 next to your first date Paste =IF(H1=3,I1+1,I1)And fill down till end of data.

After the last figure in col. I type 1 and next cell down type 2 and grab the fill handle on those two cells and fill in consecutive number order down for the number of rows which is the last biggest number in col I
Clicking the down arrow in cell I1, sort (smallest to largest)
You can then clear or delete col H and I
Cheers

another helper column alternative is :-

auto fill a column numbered 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13  etc

at the end of the column autofill it so that it gives 4.5, 8.5, 12.5 etc

when you sort the column you will have a blank row every 4th row

Excellent! starfish and coffee
Much simpler than my effort and after reading the problem
again I had an error of making my answer, putting a blank row after every 3 rows of data. Yours is correct after every 4 rows of data.

He will have to fill the 4.5,8.5 etc down till it reaches at least 1001.5

Cheers
