Adding a new column to a defined range

Hi! I'm new to Excel. 

I created a sheet with defined names and now I want to add a new column but it says 

The value entered isn't valid.

Data validation criteria have been defined for this cell to restrict the values that can be entered.

How do I create a new column and rename it? I'm using excel online.

    If the right-most column in the table had data validation set, when you add a new column it will pick up the same rules. Just remove data-validation from those cells (or establish different rules). I've not worked with Excel online, but have experienced that with Excel desktop.
