VBA: Input from a User in a Macro (InputBox)
There are many instances when you may wish to prompt the user for Input from your macro. This is easily done by using an InputBox. The user Input can then be translated into a variable to use in your macros. Here is an example using the most popular features of an InputBox.
The following code does three things:
1. Prompts for input with an InputBox and assigns it to a variable
2. Verify’s input, otherwise exits
3. Returns the input in a message box
Public Sub MyInputBox()
Dim MyInput As String
MyInput = InputBox("This is my InputBox", _
"MyInputTitle", "Enter your input text HERE")
If MyInput = "Enter your input text HERE" Or _
MyInput = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "The text from MyInputBox is " & MyInput
End Sub
Thanks a lot – i was struggling with “formula error” on blank input box for a while now…
even better is if u could make it so it could respond differently to different text
not yes no questions
USELESS!!!! Why would I need a variable just in that sub? Why can’t it return anything so that you can do something useful with it in the main sub?!??
How do i get a macro to do nothing if password is wrong, but execute rest of macro if true please
