Cut and Paste Rows doesn't insert new rows above my existing rows

Lynn D.

As I'm planning my project I'm moving rows around quite a bit. It seems like a simple thing and there should be a way to cut a group of rows (sometimes parent/children rows) and paste them above other existing rows. However, when I do that, it overwrites the rows below it. I have to count the number of rows and insert if I don't want to lose anything. Is there a way to insert the rows when I paste, without inserting blanks first?

Hi @Lynn D.

I hope you're well and safe!

It should work if you select and copy the whole row(s).

Did it work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
