is there a way to do an auto spacing in excel. When I have a large amount of
data.

See example

Is there a way to have excel insert either 1 or 2 blank lines

This would save me a huge amount of time on a monthy report I have to compile

Can you go with a macro that inserts 1 blank row at each change in data in
Column A?

Sub InsertRow_At_Change()
Dim i As Long
With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i - 1, 1) < Cells(i, 1) Then _
Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 1).EntireRow.Insert
' Resize(2,1) for 2 blank rows
Next i
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
