Hi,

I'm a newbie to xwlt. I'm sorry if this question but answered many times in
the past but I can't find the answer.

How can I insert a row into a speadsheet I have open. I found that it was
much easier to fill all the rows and then go back and provide formulas. But
now I need to insert a blank row and can't figure out how to get that done.

Thanks

Johnf

As far as I know, it hasn't been asked.

You can't, not without a major rewrite.

The only way around that is to put the logic that detects the need for a
blank row into your first pass.

Perhaps you might like to publish your code ... maybe we can suggest
ways of riffle-shuffling your two passes into one pass.

Cheers,
John

I did exactly as you suggested and applied the blank rows as I created the
data.

I'm John Fabiani. Normally I just use Johnf as my signature - you think
that's OK?
