Just format the cell first:

Sub TimeEntry()
Dim d As Date, s As String
s = Application.InputBox(prompt:="give me a date", Type:=2)
d = DateValue(s)
With Cells(4, 7)
.NumberFormat = "mmm. yy"
.Value = d
End With
End Sub

Hi,
I am using an InputBox to enter a date. This date should be copied into the
cell (4,7) in the format "mmm. yy". How to manage that.

Here is my code for the inputbox:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim d As Date
On Error GoTo err

Begin:
d = InputBox("Please enter a start date for the scenario!", _
"Start date")
If IsDate(d) And d = "01.01.2008" Then
Else
MsgBox "No existing input data for this date!"

GoTo Begin
End If

Exit Sub

err:
MsgBox "Please only enter a valid date!"
GoTo Begin
End Sub
