New Cells

There are two choices regarding how to insert new cells. When you select Overwrite Existing Cells, the values will be inserted over top of the existing cells. The first value will be placed in the active cell with additional values placed below. When you select Insert New Rows, new rows will be inserted for each value. The current row will be moved down to make room for the new values. The cells in the current column will contain the selected values. The other cells in the new rows will contain the same values as the current row.

There are three buttons regarding which values to insert into the worksheet.
