I am trying to create a form that can keep a running total
of dollars entered into a certain category. The form would
have a drop down list of "cost categories." Usually, only
one cost category would be used each time the form is
used. However, I would like to keep up with how much has
been entered into each category as the form is used. Is
there a way to track the dollars entered on the form for
each category each time the form is used?

e.g.

1st time form is used:

A B
1 Category Amount
2 Whatever $100

Then the form is printed out for distribution.

2nd time form is used:

A B
1 Category Amount
2 Whatever $150

Is there a way for Excel to tell me at this point that as
of this 2nd time, $250 has been allocated to
the "Whatever" category without just having a really long
list of every transaction? Is there some way to keep a
running total of that category? By the way, the category
could be changed each time the form is used.
 
This can be done with a VB for Excel program, I'm not sure
I could do it... try posting this in excel.programming
