How do I add rows on top of table basis a reference text?

I have excel files where table start row is inconsistent. I would like to add rows on top of the table so that all files can be made consistent in terms of the format. Two examples of tables are as follows:

 

 

Table 1:

     
     
     
INSTIDUKPRNRegion of institutionNameSLC/LEAs/
SAAS/DEL(NI)
004710000291EASTAnglia Ruskin University40747
010810007759WMIDAston University25388
004810000571SWESBath Spa University24083
010910007850SWESThe University of Bath31616

 

 

Table 2: 

     
     
     
     
     
INSTIDUKPRNRegion of institutionNameSLC/LEAs/
SAAS/DEL (NI)
002610007152EASTUniversity of Bedfordshire46258
012710007760LONDBirkbeck College(#4)3347
005210007140WMIDBirmingham City University43389
011010006840WMIDThe University of Birmingham65945

 

Basically, I need the workflow to find reference of "INSTID" and accordingly add number of rows above the table so that the count of rows on above the row containing "INSTID" is 10. 

 

How would I go about adding these rows?  Thank you very much!

Wouldn't removing the empty rows be easier? If that's the case, using a simple Filter is going to do the trick

Removing blank rows will not serve the purpose in this case as i need to Build a Concatenate formula for all Rows above "INSTID" across all columns. The Information in columns is quite vital in this case.

 

Thanks for your reply.
