Excel 2010: How to Add and Delete Rows and Columns

December 13, 2010

Adding or removing rows and columns in an Excel workbook is quite an easy process. For those of you who are not familiar with the process, this tutorial shows you how to add and delete rows and columns. There are more than one ways to do this. While I prefer to use the keyboard shortcut, you can adopt one that suits your working style.

How to Add and Delete Rows and Columns

You can add or delete rows and columns in one of the following ways.

How to Add a Single Row to a Spreadsheet

When you add a row to a spreadsheet, the rows and columns below and to the right of the insertion point are moved one level down and one level to the right. So when you’re adding a row or column, make sure you place the insertion point at the right location.

1. If you want to add a row after a certain row, click the row header that is below the specific row. For example, if you want to add a row below row header 4, right-click row header 5.

2. From the short-cut menu, click Insert.

Select the row header below the row you want to add and press Ctrl +
