Formatting question for automating data entry

Im going to try to articulate what I need and if it’s possible to do inside excel.

At my job I have to record the amount of patrons using our facilities. and specify what particular services are being used. at the end of each quarter. (3 month period) I must tally up all the numbers and provide a total for each aspect of our facility as well as the total overall.

For example.

1st quarter numbers.

100 patrons used theatre.

250 patrons used Game room

450 patrons used computer lab

so on and so forth.

Now that you have the gist in your head. Imagine a spreadsheet where the first form is just a data entry sheet. it’s essentially just a box that never changes. You input the numbers for the week, and that data gets automatically moved to a different cell that has the total amount. so that at the end of the quarter I can easily see my total without having to backtrack or tediously add.

if anyone has some insight on how I can do this Please reach out. If you have any questions about my wording or understanding exactly what I mean please also reach out. If you read all this I appreciate your time.
