How to add multiple Rows/Columns

How can I add MULTIPLE Rows/Columns in between existing ones (not at the end of a table)? Sometimes i need to add 50 or so rows and it is tiring to add one by one...

Thank you for your help

Here are the steps for adding multiple rows above or below a specific row in a Number Table.


Initial table:


To insert 5 rows ABOVE row 7 (Existing row), Select the five cells shown below (or the same rows in a different column)


Then press option-up arrow


To place 5 new rows below Row 7—starting from the initial table (first image), Select the five cells shown below (or any block of five cells in a single column, in the same five rows as shown):

Then press option-down arrow:


Instructions for inserting multiple columns follow the same patterns, using option-left arrow and option-roght arrow.


In each, the number of selected cells in the column (or row) determines the number of rows (or columns) to be inserted, and the insertion is done after the 'last' selected cell in the direction of the insertion.
