I see that this way I can double the amount of cells each time. This is a decent workaround, five iterations should get her enough rows. It's a bit of a pain, but it works.

Sorry, but you are surely missing something here. This is not a workaround: it's the facility that Calc provides for what you need to do. No iterations are required. There is no pain that I can see! Let me rephrase it:

o Select the rows where you want the new empty rows to appear (or, if it is easier, either a column or block of cells in those rows). o Either go to Insert | Rows or right-click in the selected row headers and choose Insert Rows.

Job done!

Are you perhaps frightened that Calc will lose the values in the selected rows? Trust in your friendly Calc!

The first row row be selected should be the one above which the [new] empty rows are to go. This row is included in the count of new rows. So, for example, to insert 10 empty rows between rows 1 and 2, select rows 2-11 inclusive (10 rows), right click and choose Insert Rows. The rows you select don't need to be empty, contrary to my earlier statement - sorry.
