I have a table that I want to have a total row while also adding new rows automatically when a row of data is completed. I am having trouble because I have formulas and data validation that need to be maintained if a row is added.

Currently I have removed the total row and when i enter data into the cell A4 and press enter it will try and create a new row for the table but the user has to know at least one of the options that are available in column As drop down menu otherwise it causes a data validation issue. I would like to avoid that and have it make a new row when the final cell of the previous row is completed.

Here is the table.
