Creating Data for Missing Time Series

[belznp1]

I have data at one second intervals for a set of drivers. Occasionally, this data will skip a second and I need to create a new row and interpolate between the values this missing second is bounded by. There are also instances where there are several skipped seconds in one file. I am having a bit of trouble with the code. Any help?

The data looks something like this:

44.35545 -73.2485 4.8 12 57 31
44.35547 -73.2485 2.5 12 57 32
44.35548 -73.2485 1.9 12 57 33
44.35547 -73.2485 1.5 12 57 34
44.35548 -73.2486 1.4 12 57 35
44.35547 -73.2485 1.7 12 57 37
44.35547 -73.2485 2.0 12 57 38
44.35548 -73.2485 3.7 12 57 39
44.35550 -73.2486 4.5 12 57 40

where the columns represent Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Hours, Minutes, Seconds.

also, this is what I have so far - which only inserts the missing row and the second value:

Sub InsertMissingTime()
'
' InsertMissingTime Macro
' Identifies missing time series and inserts interpolated data
'
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+m
'
Dim lngRow As Long
Dim intCol As Integer
Dim lngRowCount As Long
Dim intIns As Integer
Dim m As Integer
Dim n As Long

'dimension length of timeseries
i = Range("F:F").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

'select row with second timestamp
Range("O1:O" & i).Select

'find start row
lngRow = Selection.Row
intCol = Selection.Column

'find number of rows
lngRowCount = Selection.Rows.Count

For n = lngRow To lngRow + lngRowCount - 1
'calculate difference in timestamps
intIns = Cells(n + 1, intCol).Value - Cells(n, intCol).Value
If intIns > 1 Then
'insert row(s) and include missing time
For m = 2 To intIns
Cells(n + m - 1, intCol).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
Cells(n + m - 1, intCol).Value = Cells(n, intCol).Value + m - 1
lngRowCount = lngRowCount + 1
Next m
End If
Next n
Exit Sub
End Sub

PseudoCode:

Start Loop
With Seconds_Column
   If ThisRow.Value = NextRow.Value - 1 Then
     ThisRow = ThisRow + 1
   Loop
   Else 
     NumRowsToInsert = (NextRow.Value - ThisRow.Value) - 1
End With
 
With Data Columns
   LatDiff = (NextRow,LatColumn.Value - ThisRow,LatColumn.Value) / NumRowsToInsert
   Etc
End With
 
Insert NumRowsToInsert After ThisRow
 
For i = 1 to NumRowsToInsert
(ThisRow + i),LatCol.Value = ThisRow,LatCol.Value + (LatDif * i)
   Repeat for all data columns including seconds
Next i
 
ThisRow = NextRow + NumRowsToInsert
End Loop

This will insert missing seconds.
