MsgBox "From GoTo Box, Select 'Sub Data' To Copy
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaGoto).Sho
Selection.Cop

MsgBox "From GoTo Box, Select 'GROUP' to Copy Sub Data to
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaGoto).Sho

Dim ret_value As Rang
Set ret_value = Application.InputBox("select a range in Group", Type:=8
Application.Goto reference:=ret_value ' I added this line of code to display starting cell of range I had selected w/inputbox
ActiveCell.Activate ' I added this line of code, hoping it would make cell selected work w/selection paste special

ans = MsgBox(" Is this correct cell to enter Sub Score", vbYesNo)
If ans = vbNo Then _
Exit Sub
' Above code appears to work, but I receive error msg with following paste special code!

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
