<h1>EXPAND Function</h1>
<p>The <b>EXPAND</b> function is one of the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#lookupreference" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">lookup and reference functions</a>. It is used to expand a range of data (array) by adding rows and columns.</p>

<p><b><em>EXPAND(array, rows, [columns], [pad_with])</em></b></p>
<p>The <b>EXPAND</b> function has the following arguments:</p>
<table style="width: 40%">
<tr>
<th style="background-color: #f4f4f4" width="150ch"><b>Argument</b></th>
<th style="background-color: #f4f4f4"><b>Description</b></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><em>array</em></b></td>
<td>The range of cells to be expanded.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><em>rows</em></b></td>
<td>The number of rows in the returned array. Although this is a required argument, if omitted, rows will not be added and the number of columns must be specified.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><em>columns</em></b></td>
<td>An optional argument identifying the number of columns in the returned array. If omitted, columns will not be added and the number of rows must be specified.</td>
