What is how to insert multiple rows in excel?

There are several ways to insert multiple rows in Excel:

  • Using the Insert Option:

    1. Select Rows: Click on the row number(s) to the left of the sheet to select the number of rows you want to insert. For example, to insert 3 rows, click and drag down to select three existing rows. This selection is important because Excel will insert the new rows above the selected rows.
    2. Right-Click: Right-click on any of the selected row numbers.
    3. Insert: Choose "Insert" from the context menu. Excel will insert the specified number of blank rows above your selection.
  • Using the Ribbon:

    1. Select Rows: As with the previous method, select the desired number of rows.
    2. Home Tab: Go to the "Home" tab on the Excel ribbon.
    3. Insert Button: In the "Cells" group, click the "Insert" dropdown menu.
    4. Insert Sheet Rows: Select "Insert Sheet Rows". This will insert the same number of rows as you initially selected.
  • Using Keyboard Shortcut:

    1. Select Rows: Select the required number of rows.
    2. Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Shift + + (or Ctrl + + on some keyboards, or Command + Shift + + on a Mac). This quickly inserts the rows.
  • Considerations:

    • Excel will shift existing rows down to make room for the new blank rows.
    • If you select entire rows (by clicking the row numbers), the inserted rows will inherit the formatting of the row above your selection.
    • The number of inserted rows will always match the number of rows you initially selected. If you only select one row, only one row will be inserted, even if you intended to insert more.
