This guide demos how to insert multiple rows in Google Sheets from a PC – Sheets.Google.com

Step 1: Open Your Preferred Google Sheet

  • You can open the document either from Sheets.Google.com or from Google Drive.
  • If you are not logged into your Google Account you will be required to sign in. Enter your account email and password to login.
  • If you opened Google Sheets directly (Sheets.Google.com), you may open an existing document by clicking File -> Open

Step 2: Select the Row you Want to Insert Multiple Rows Before or After

To select a row, left-click on the row number. For this example I want to insert multiple rows above rows 4 – I will left-click on row number 4.

Do NOT click on the sheet, click on the row number column. If you got it right, the entire row (including the row number) will be selected.

Step 3: Insert Multiple Rows Above or Below the Selected Row

  • Once you have selected the row, hold the shift key in your keyboard.

  • With your Shift key pressed down, press the down arrow key to select the number of rows you want to insert in Google Sheets. The rows will be selected as shown in the image below. In this example I want to insert 8 rows above row 4.
  • Then right-click the row number column you want to insert rows above or below. In this example, I will right-click row number 4. Finally, to insert 8 rows above row 4 select Insert 8 above.
  • Alternatively, to insert the rows below the reference row select Insert 8 below. For this demo, I will select Insert 8 above.
  • The multiple rows will be inserted!

It is that easy to insert multiple rows in Google Sheets! As you can see from the last image you can also Delete, Clear, Hide or Resize rows from the right-click.
