I have set up 3 excel sheets in related to budgeting/expenses.

The first contains the full budget (say Sheet A for example);
The second contains the expenses (Sheet B);
and the Third contains the pivot table (Sheet C), which helps to group together all the different expenses from Sheet B into categories.

The pivot table is used to separate all the expenses into their relevant category and provide a sum total of the amount spent within that particular category. I want to copy this sum total amount to Sheet A. At first, I set a simple formula
Excel Formula:
='Sheet C'!C5
. But the problem is, every time I add a new expense to Sheet B, the sum total value will be moved down to say C6 and so on. Is there some kind of formula I can use to copy the sum total value to Sheet A?
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Maybe the below will help:
VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim pt As PivotTable
    Dim GrandTotal
    
    Set pt = Sheet1.PivotTables(1)
    GrandTotal = pt.DataBodyRange.Cells(pt.DataBodyRange.Cells.Count).Value
    MsgBox GrandTotal
End Sub

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Google Sheets for this rather than excel...

That is a totally different ball game. I don't think that many on this forum will be across that.
In Excel I would suggest using GetPivotData, as it happens Google Sheets calls it the same thing. So just google that terminology for Google Sheets.
Here is a video that might get you started (8 mins)
