    Continually populating from one worksheet to another

    I have created a "Register" worksheet and a "Budget" worksheet in the same document.
    Under Register I have a drop down box in Column D with 7 different choices and the dollar amount in Column F.
    What I want to know how to do is to continually populate under Budget whatever goes into Column D plus Column F of Register. I want this to update once information is entered into a field - not me highlighting and adding a formula aftwards.

    For example:
    Under Register, I choose Dining Out from the drop down list under Column D and enter $20 into Column F on row 2.
    Under the Budget worksheet I want the $20 to populate under a Dining Out category, either in another spreadsheet, or in a chart that will show total amount.

    on the same token if I go down to row 3 under Register and I chose Gas from the drop down list under Column D and enter $40 into Column F I want it to populate the $40 under a Gas category in Budget.

    So the Budget worksheet will have 7 different categories - each with a total dollar amount as retreived from the Register worksheet.

    Does this make sense?
    Please keep in mind that I am Moderate in Excel and Amateur in Macros.

    Thank you for any help

    Hi FleurDeLis

    It doesn't make sense only because I can't visualize it. I've developed a "personal" budgeting program that incorporates a "Register" and a "Budget to Actual" sheet so I have a feel for what you're trying to do. I'd like to see a dummied up version of what you have then perhaps I can be of assistance.
