Hi, and welcome to the forum.

You state what does not happen. That information is of little value. Instead, you should explain what
does happen and your
expectation of what will happen. We sometimes find that Calc's behavior is correct but expectations are incorrect.

Where do you find Insert>"Entire Row"? I cannot find that menu or toolbar icon on my OpenOffice Calc program.

If the goal is to insert a row, I use menu Insert → Rows. If I use menu Insert → Cells → Entire row → OK, that also inserts a row, but it is more complicated.
Either of those procedures moves the data in the insertion area down when I use them. When I insert rows, the new rows are inserted
above the highlighted row. Cells in the new rows are formatted like the corresponding cells in the row
before the insertion.
That is how row insertion should work in Calc. If you experience different behavior,
attach a document demonstrating the difficulty
(remove confidential information then use Post Reply, not Quick Reply, and don't attach a picture instead of the document itself). Specify which cell or cell range is selected and what specific action you take to insert a row. There are several methods, and we need to know which one you are using. If your attachment has multiple sheets, specify which sheet you are using. Tell us what happens to the data below the insertion
on your system. Also tell us your goal since we may know another way to achieve it.
Inserting rows is exactly equivalent to
moving rows down. This tutorial explains how dependent formulas are changed when rows are inserted, with the
Expand References option set and also with it not set.

Open two topics if you have two problems. Attach a document demonstrating the situation with your summation calculation. Explain your goal. My guess is that the "Formula adjustments" tutorial explains the situation and may suggest how you can get Calc to work the way you want.
