Macro for Confirming Delete
Hi all, I can create a button with a macro that will
clear the data in a preselected range - using the macro recorder. However, when the button is clicked, I would like a message to appear that says, "Are You Sure" and have a "Yes" button, and a "No" button for the user to click on - to verify clear the range or return to what they were doing. I think this is a macro inside a macro and I am not sure how to do this. Any HELP you can offer would be appreciated. Ex - when you start to close an Excel file you've entered data into, and haven't saved it, a message will appear asking if you really want to save changes. How can I create such a message with options yes and no? |
