Not an easier quesion to answer

If I have contiguous rows selected in Excel...lets say 1-4.  Is there a way I deselect one row?

Hod down CTRL and click the row you want to deselect

I think deselcting using ctrl will only deselect the first cell.

the easier thing to do would be to hold control and select the ones you do want

Hold control and click on the row number in the left margin.

@sysreq2000 we've already established that doesn't work

@ jacko - I can only test this in 2010, but holding control just allows you to select a cell in the selection without losing the rest of the selection

such simple things can be very complicated!

Yes sorry must be faulty memory your best bet is some vba as linked in ged325's comment.
