Why can't I add rows to the numbers chart I created on my mac.

I created a chart in numbers but numbers will not allow me to add rows to this doc. I have not had this problem with other numbers charts. Please help!

iMac, iOS 8.3

Hi Cossid1


The most likely cause of not being able to add a row is that you are trying to add a Header row and you have already reached the limit of 5 Header Rows.


Header rows are the ones at the top of a table that are shaded gray by default. You may have changed the formatting, but if you have 5 Header Rows and are trying to add another Header Row, you will be blocked.


Try adding a row above or below Row 6 and see if your powers return.


Another, less common cause, is trying to add a rowing the midst of some merged cells. If you have not merged cells you don't have to worry about this.
