Default Deleting lines that use them for formulas

I have the follwoing table:
Item qty Price Total Price
1 2 45 90
2 4 6 24
3 7 78 546
4 8 34 272
5 3 23 69
total
In column D I have the following formula
=IF(AND(X="",Y=""),"",IF(AND(X="",NOT(Y="")),"tota l",W*Z))
X = 3 columns to the left
Y = 3 columns to the left and one row up
W = 2 columns to the left
Z = 1 columns to the left

So in the cell that contains 24 (D3) I have the following formula
=IF(AND(A3="",A2=""),"",IF(AND(A3="",NOT(A2=""))," total",B3*C3))

If I delete Row 2 I get a reference error in the new D2. Is there any way
to change the formula so that if I delete a row that a cell below it
references to have the formula refence the new row above it?
So after deleting row 2 I want the cell that should now have 24 in it New D2
(old D3) to be:
=IF(AND(A2="",A1=""),"",IF(AND(A2="",NOT(A1=""))," total",B2*C2))

Thank you for any help you can provide.
