value or difference amount and gives a total in a specific requested cell. i
am bringing different # amount to be totaled and placed in requested cells of
choise.

Please try rephrasing question (maybe with example)
You have a range of cells with numbers. What do you want to SUM?

I would like to have a calculator that will calculator 2-3 or more
calculations of different amount and have the result or total be placed in a
specified or requested cell.

An example might help interpret what you are trying to say.

Have you looked at Help for the SUM function?

at the end of the week I gather my and input the expences for different
catigories. some catigories has different sub-catigories and each has their
own input of $ amount. Eg: My Family Budget Plan with diffeerent catigories
and Sub-catigories.
catigorie "House"
sub-catigorie: utilitiy / Tel. / rent / Groceries ...
thus the same for other main catigories
each sub-catigories has different $ amount input so its hard to keep
manually totaling (different Grocery totals) and then entering that total aas
one entry for the sub-catigory "Groceries".

My standard approach to such a problem is to place the raw "grocery" data in another part of the worksheet (or maybe another worksheet in the same workbook). Then the "grocery" cell can become =sum(aa1:aa10) where aa1:aa10 is the range where you put the raw grocery data.
