Using Excel, how can I shift all values in a column down 1 row?

I have a spreadsheet filled with timestamped data. However, I've found that the timestamps are paired with the wrong data (for example, the timestamp on row 8 belongs to the data on row 9). Does Excel 2016 (the version I'm using) have some way to shift all the timestamps down one row?
