I have a table with a delete all rows button that is meant to delete all the rows so more rows can be added. In the past, it has deleted all the rows but left one blank row and this allowed me to add more rows but now when I press it, it deletes even the last row, leaving just the header.

How do I make it so there is still one row left, but it is blank when I press the button?

Here is the delete lines code:

VBA Code:
Sub CostingDeleteAll()
    'Deleting The Data In A Table
    Dim tbl As ListObject
    Dim cell As Range
        Set tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Costing_tool").ListObjects("tblCosting")
        'Delete all table rows except first row
        With tbl.DataBodyRange
            If .Rows.Count > 1 Then
                .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count).Rows.Delete
            End If
            'Clear the contents, but not delete the formulas
            For Each cell In tbl.ListRows(1).Range.Cells
                If Not cell.HasFormula Then
                    cell.Value = ""
                End If
            Next
        End With
End Sub

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
If it has worked in the past AND you haven't made any modifications, it should work now !!
Has there been any changes to the layout of the "Costing Tool" Sheet

it deletes even the last row, leaving just the header.

How do I make it so there is still one row left, but it is blank when I press the button?

So it does leave a row, but blank?
The last part of the macro deletes the contents of the cells, try this again:

VBA Code:
Sub CostingDeleteAll()
  'Deleting The Data In A Table
  Dim tbl As ListObject
  Dim cell As Range
  Set tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Costing_tool").ListObjects("tblCosting")
  'Delete all table rows except first row
  With tbl.DataBodyRange
    If .Rows.Count > 1 Then
        .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, .Columns.Count).Rows.Delete
    End If
  End With
End Sub
