When a value is entered into, say, cell B5, I want that value to be
added to, say, E5. I could do this by attaching a macro to a shortcut
key, or preferably when the cell loses focus.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Robert

Robert,

Put the following code in the code module for the appropriate
worksheet.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$B$5" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("E5").Value = Range("E5").Value + Target.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub

if you wanted a range in a column to be added to E5, like b5, then b6,
then b7, etc, how would you change the procedure?
