Getting this message: "This won't work because it would move cells in a table on your worksheet."
When I try to insert a row in a formatted table, I get the following message: "This won't work because it would move cells in a table on your worksheet."

laura_protzman this may not apply to your situation but it's what created that error for me:
I have a MS Power Automate Flow that would check the contents of an excel table and delete rows in the table. Everything worked fine until today I get that error. In the end I discovered it's because the last time I used the file I left that table filtered based on a column entry. Once I turned off the filter and saved it the Flow work again.
