Noob help
 

I want to format a cell to keep a total. We will call this cell T. I want it
to keep a total from cell A which when I put a number it will add to the
total in cell T. I also want cell T to keep a total from cell S so when I put
a number in S then it will subtract from the total. Ok I know how to do that.
My question is when I put a number in either cell S or A I want to be able to
see that entry but then if I want to add another number to it the total adds
that number also.
Here is an example T=0, I put 20 in A. Now T shows 20 and A also shows 20.
Now I want to put 20 in A again. I want for T to show 40 now and A to show
20. When I do this it does not change the total.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Address = "$T$1" Then
Me.Range("A1").Value = Me.Range("A1").Value + Target.Value
ElseIf Target.Address = "$S$1" Then
Me.Range("A1").Value = Me.Range("A1").Value - Target.Value
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

The code bit. You could paste it all as the rest is comments.
