How to Insert Multiple Rows in Google Sheets?
If you’ve been using Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets, then the procedure of inserting multiple rows in Google Sheets is pretty similar. Just follow these steps:
- In your Google Sheets document, highlight the number of rows you want to insert. The number of rows you can automatically insert depends on the number of rows you highlighted. Highlight 1 row if you're going to insert only 1 row, 2 rows if you want to insert to 2 rows, and so on.
- After highlighting, right-click anywhere on the spreadsheet. A window with options will pop out. You will then see a number of options. If you highlighted 1 row, you'd find "Insert 1 above", or "Insert 1 below" (image a). If you highlighted 2, you’ll find there “Insert 2 above", or "Insert 2 below" (image b). But, if you highlighted 3 rows, you’ll find there, “Insert 3 above", or "Insert 3 below" (image c).
