How to Move a Row in Google Sheets
Learn how to efficiently move rows in Google Sheets using various methods, including drag-and-drop, cut and paste, and inserting new rows. This video provides practical tips to enhance your data management skills in Google Sheets.
you want to move a row. Now, the quickest way to move a row is to select the number on the far left. Say we wanna move this manly up to the top. Go over to the left where there's a five that's a fifth row and click and drag. Once it's an arrow, click and drag it up, and we can now have a manually at the top. Now, another way to do this, and maybe what you're doing now is insert a row. Let's move Noah Davis. We can command C or right click. Copy and then select the third row where we've inserted a row and paste. And now come to Noah Davis and we can delete that row. I wanna show you one extra way to move a row. Let's say we want Mia Wilson at the very top. Let's insert a row above, but with Mia Wilson.
We'll select the row and we're gonna cut. This is the command X on my computer and I will paste. Now what this does. Is it will automatically delete and clear the contents of the row it's coming from. This is very useful if you want to maintain sort of the places where these rows are or the state of these rows, or the order of these rows. Now, if we have deleted this row, the 10th row still exists, but it all the rows under it are moved up. So when you're dealing with data and moving data around, it's very important to know. Why you're moving it around and what is the repercussions or effects of that? If we were selecting certain people here based on the row, we may not
want to actually move any rows around or reorder them in any way. We may want to keep them ordered. So what I like to do is command X go to another sheet and start pacing them here, and the order of all of these remain the same. We just cut a couple out of it.
