I can add an event to my Outlook calendar on the computer and it will sync to my calendar on my Galaxy S5 but when I add an event on my phone it does not sync with the desktop calendar. Is there a setting I'm missing to fix this?

I've been using CompanionLink for about 3 years. It is not perfect, but it's the best I've found. The latest version is far more error-free than prior versions, and their support is very responsive if you have issues. You can also sync wirelessly via the web. You need to download the free app DejaOffice. You can either use the DejaOffice calendar, contacts, notes mini-apps, etc (this is what I do) or sync these with the Samsung versions (easy but redundant, as the DejaOffice versions are just as functional).
When you start, you'll need to erase all contact, calendar and other Outlook-based data (except email) from your phone to make sure the process goes smoothly. Then you run CL, selecting the "Reread Outlook Data..." option. Then you run DejaOffice's sync on your phone, and you're ready to go. If you decide to use the Samsung calendar, contacts apps, there is a checkbox in DejaOffice to replicate with those. Lots of phone-specific instructions on the CL website, and as I mentioned, their support is very good.
BACK UP YOUR OUTLOOK DATA BEFORE SYNCING!! I did something - damned if I know what - a couple of years ago when I replaced my phone and basically duplicated every Outlook contact. Not something I recommend
Good luck.
