Macro will not work if input box entry is in upper case and If statment = a item in lower cas
Is there a way to fix so macro will work regardless of how entered in input bo
Thank
Bob Leonar

Sub TestIf(

Dim varInput As Strin
Range("P5").Selec
varInput = InputBox("Enter Value"
Selection.VALUE = varInpu

If Selection.VALUE = "test_1" The
Application.Run "test

ElseIf Selection.VALUE = "test_2" Then
Application.Run "test2

End I
End Su

Bob,

At the very top of the code module, above and outside of any
procedures, put the line

Option Compare Text

Sub TestIf()

Dim varInput As String
Range("P5").Select
varInput = InputBox("Enter Value")
Selection.VALUE = varInput

If Selection.VALUE = "test_1" Then
Application.Run "test"

ElseIf Selection.VALUE = "test_2" Then
Application.Run "test2"

End If
End Sub

I don't think it's the macro that's causing the error.

if lcase(selection.value) = "test_1" then
should work ok.

or this too:
if lcase(varinput) = "test_1" then


It's the text comparison that's causing the trouble.

If you always want to ignore upper/lower case differences, you can add:

Option Compare Text

at the top of the module.

Typical solution is to force both sides of the comparison to all upper case
or all lower case.

If LCase(varInput) = LCase("test_1") Then
