Excel won't insert rows -

Excel won't insert rows - says it cannot shift nonblank cells etc. We have tried deleting empty rows. However CONTROL END still goes to row 1048576 which is way way beyond the range of the data

RE: Excel won't insert rows -

Hi Liz,

Thank you for the forum question.

If Ctrl End brings you to row 1048576 you have something stored in the rows all way down to row 1048576. Select all blank rows and Clear All. Delete does only delete visible information not invisible. Please let me know if this doesn't solve the issue.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Use the Format Painter to copy formatting more than once in Excel

The format painter tool provides a quick and easy way to copy formatting from one cell to another in Word.

The only problem is that if you click the Format Painter once to turn it on, you can only click and drag over a single cell or adjacent range of cells; then the Format Painter turns itself off automatically.

If you want to copy formatting to cells or groups of cells that are not adjacent to each other, double-click the Format Painter - this way you will be able to copy formatting to multiple cells.

When you have finished using Format Painter, press the Esc key or click on the Format Painter button once to turn it off.
