Cómo mover filas en Excel

Move an entire row in Microsoft Excel

We can move rows or selected cells in Microsoft Excel. There are several methods to do this. Let's suppose we have these rows in Microsoft Excel and that we need to move a row. We can now examine how to get this done.

IronXL: C# Excel Library

IronXL is a .NET C# Excel Library for developers to edit and save Excel files. It has been designed to help developers quickly create, edit, and save Excel files without the need for Microsoft Excel to be installed.

The IronXL Excel library has been designed for .NET C# developers to edit and save Excel files without having Microsoft Excel installed on their machines. The IronXL Excel library is a powerful tool that can be used by any developer who needs to work with Excel spreadsheets in their projects. The IronXL Library includes many features that are not found in the standard Microsoft Excel libraries. These include:

• Visualization of data tables with column filtering, sorting, and grouping capabilities
• Data validation functionality
• Data extraction from an existing spreadsheet into a new one
• Interactive charts with customizations such as color schemes, titles, axis labels, etc.
• Ability to export charts as images or PDF files
• Customizable pivot tables for displaying complex datasets

Here is the code to add a row at the first position in the Excel file:

using IronXL;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Load the Excel file
    WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx");

    // Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
    WorkSheet ws = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1");

    // Start from the last row and prepare to push all rows down by one
    int j = ws.Rows.Count() + 1;

    // Shift all existing rows down by one and set new row at the top
    for (int i = 1; i <= ws.Rows.Count(); i++)
    {
        // If reached the first position, insert new row
        if (j == 0)
        {
            ws.Rows[0].Value = "new row";
            break;
        }

        // Assign values from row j to row (j + 1)
        ws["A" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["A" + j].Value;
        ws["B" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["B" + j].Value;
        ws["C" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["C" + j].Value;
        ws["D" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["D" + j].Value;
        ws["E" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["E" + j].Value;

        // Move to the previous row
        j = j - 1;
    }

    // Save the changes to the Excel file
    wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
}

using IronXL;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Load the Excel file
    WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx");

    // Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
    WorkSheet ws = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1");

    // Start from the last row and prepare to push all rows down by one
    int j = ws.Rows.Count() + 1;

    // Shift all existing rows down by one and set new row at the top
    for (int i = 1; i <= ws.Rows.Count(); i++)
    {
        // If reached the first position, insert new row
        if (j == 0)
        {
            ws.Rows[0].Value = "new row";
            break;
        }

        // Assign values from row j to row (j + 1)
        ws["A" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["A" + j].Value;
        ws["B" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["B" + j].Value;
        ws["C" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["C" + j].Value;
        ws["D" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["D" + j].Value;
        ws["E" + (j + 1)].Value = ws["E" + j].Value;

        // Move to the previous row
        j = j - 1;
    }

    // Save the changes to the Excel file
    wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
}

Imports IronXL

Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
	' Load the Excel file
	Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx")

	' Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
	Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1")

	' Start from the last row and prepare to push all rows down by one
	Dim j As Integer = ws.Rows.Count() + 1

	' Shift all existing rows down by one and set new row at the top
	For i As Integer = 1 To ws.Rows.Count()
		' If reached the first position, insert new row
		If j = 0 Then
			ws.Rows(0).Value = "new row"
			Exit For
		End If

		' Assign values from row j to row (j + 1)
		ws("A" & (j + 1)).Value = ws("A" & j).Value
		ws("B" & (j + 1)).Value = ws("B" & j).Value
		ws("C" & (j + 1)).Value = ws("C" & j).Value
		ws("D" & (j + 1)).Value = ws("D" & j).Value
		ws("E" & (j + 1)).Value = ws("E" & j).Value

		' Move to the previous row
		j = j - 1
	Next i

	' Save the changes to the Excel file
	wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx")
End Sub

This code will move the rows down and a new row will be placed at the first position of the document. The for loop will be moving all rows down and adding the new row data at the first position. We can add the rows at the end of the document too. Let's take a look at how we can do it:

using IronXL;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Load the Excel file
    WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx");

    // Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
    WorkSheet ws = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1");

    // Determine the new row number, just after the last current row
    int i = ws.Rows.Count() + 1;

    // Add a new row with specific values at the end
    ws["A" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["B" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["C" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["D" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["E" + i].Value = "New Row";

    // Save the changes to the Excel file
    wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
}

using IronXL;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // Load the Excel file
    WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx");

    // Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
    WorkSheet ws = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1");

    // Determine the new row number, just after the last current row
    int i = ws.Rows.Count() + 1;

    // Add a new row with specific values at the end
    ws["A" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["B" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["C" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["D" + i].Value = "New Row";
    ws["E" + i].Value = "New Row";

    // Save the changes to the Excel file
    wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
}

Imports IronXL

Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
	' Load the Excel file
	Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("sample.xlsx")

	' Get the worksheet named "Sheet1"
	Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.GetWorkSheet("Sheet1")

	' Determine the new row number, just after the last current row
	Dim i As Integer = ws.Rows.Count() + 1

	' Add a new row with specific values at the end
	ws("A" & i).Value = "New Row"
	ws("B" & i).Value = "New Row"
	ws("C" & i).Value = "New Row"
	ws("D" & i).Value = "New Row"
	ws("E" & i).Value = "New Row"

	' Save the changes to the Excel file
	wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx")
End Sub

This code will add the new row at the bottom of the document. You can see more details on how to add a new row in our how-to pages.

IronXL has a variety of pricing plans. You can even get a free trial — the IronXL free trial can be activated without any payment or card information. However, IronXL is free for development. Visit our licensing page for more information.
