How Do I Insert Sub Rows in Excel?

Published in Excel 2 mins read

You can insert sub rows in Excel by using the Insert Row feature. This allows you to add new rows above the selected row, effectively creating sub rows.

Here's how to insert sub rows in Excel:

  1. Select the row where you want to insert the sub rows.
  2. Right-click on the selected row number.
  3. Choose "Insert" from the context menu.
  4. Select "Insert Entire Row" to add a single row above the selected row.

Example:

Let's say you have a table with data in rows 1 through 10. To insert a sub row between rows 5 and 6, you would:

  1. Select row 6.
  2. Right-click on row 6.
  3. Choose "Insert" and select "Insert Entire Row."

This will insert a new, empty row above row 6, creating a sub row.

Practical Insights:

  • You can insert multiple rows at once by selecting multiple rows before right-clicking.
  • To insert sub rows below a specific row, select the row below where you want to insert.
  • You can also use the Insert Row command on the Home tab in the Cells group.

Note: Inserting sub rows will shift the existing rows down, so ensure you have enough space in your spreadsheet.
