When using Insert/Delete Rows and Columns in WPS on Android, common questions usually involve where to find the entry point, why insertion results vary, and how to recover from deletion; this section covers 3 frequent questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can’t I find the Insert Row/Column option?
- Make sure you opened an editable WPS spreadsheet file.
- Select a specific row or column position and check whether the floating menu appears.
- If it still does not appear, open Tools at the bottom and use the Insert tab instead.
Why is the number of inserted rows or columns different from what I expected?
- Check how many rows or columns are selected at one time.
- During quick insertion, the number of new rows or columns follows the size of the current selection.
- If you only want one row or one column, reduce the selection before inserting.
Can I recover deleted rows or columns?
- Avoid making many more edits immediately after deletion.
- Use Undo right away to reverse the last deletion.
- For important files, confirm the selection and keep a backup copy before deleting.
