If you want to insert a row in Excel afterwards, there are basically two possibilities. For example, you can use your mouse to insert an additional row. A simpler method is to use a keyboard shortcut, which allows you to work even more efficiently.

How to insert a line in Excel using a keyboard shortcut

Inserting an additional line in Excel is sometimes not as easy as in Word. However, there are several ways to insert an additional row into your spreadsheet or calculation. You can do this either with your mouse or with a keyboard shortcut.

• One way to insert a row in Excel is with your mouse. To do this, simply right-click between the two rows where you want to insert an additional row. In the menu that opens, select "Insert row". Now another line appears, with which you can expand your table or your calculation without much effort.
• It is even faster and more efficient with the help of a keyboard shortcut. First, you select the line over which you want to insert an additional row. To do this, left-click on the respective line number. Now hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and also use the "+" key. Now a new line is inserted directly, with which you can continue working as usual.
