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?

  1. Make sure you opened an editable WPS spreadsheet file.
  2. Select a specific row or column position and check whether the floating menu appears.
  3. 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?

  1. Check how many rows or columns are selected at one time.
  2. During quick insertion, the number of new rows or columns follows the size of the current selection.
  3. If you only want one row or one column, reduce the selection before inserting.

Can I recover deleted rows or columns?

  1. Avoid making many more edits immediately after deletion.
  2. Use Undo right away to reverse the last deletion.
  3. For important files, confirm the selection and keep a backup copy before deleting.
