    Always keep an empty row at the bottom of a table

    I'm setting up a table that has a lot of droplists and formulas. Column A is a droplist with names. The way tables work, they won't absorb new data until at least 1 cell in the new row has been filled. That doesn't work if it's important for the user to select from a droplist.

    So, the goal is to always have a new row available for the user to enter data into.

    Do you have a question? Or are just offering a tip?

    BTW to solve this I would set up column A with data validation for the entire column, then you don't need to mess with a blank row. See attached example.

    Ah! I see how this seemed like I was offering a tip. No. I was asking a question and you offered a simple solution. It works.
