Conflict with excel sheet

Hello everyone! 
 
I have been getting this error in power automate :We can’t perform this action because it would require moving cells in a table on your worksheet. This is happening when power Automate tries to add a new row in the excel table. 
I don't know what's causing this and how to solve it. 
{my flow consists of adding a new row to the excel table every time there is a submission from the form and there is a formula on the last cell of the table which sommes up the data in one column}
 
 
any help will be appreciated.
I have the same question (0)

    Hi
     
    Remove the formula from inside the Excel table because Power Automate cannot add new rows when a formula blocks the table from expanding. Instead, move the formula below the table (outside it). 
     
    Thanks
