I'm trying to make a pop up and then have the user enter data into the pop
up. Then use that data to make calculations in the excel sheet. Too complicated for excel? Let me know if I confused you at all Thanks for any help. |

How do I create pop ups in excel?
The easiest way is to use an InputBox.

A more robust method, to capture whether the user clicked Cancel
in the InputBox, is as follows: Dim S As String S = InputBox("Enter Something") If StrPtr(S) < 0 Then Range("A1").Value = S Else ' user clicked cancel End If -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...

Ok I'll try to use an inputbox. I work better with examples do you think you
could give me a small example of using an input box when an excel sheet is opened? Thanks "Chip Pearson" wrote: The easiest way is to use an InputBox.

How do I create pop ups in excel?
What you are describing is either an InputBox (simple, but not too flexible)
or a userform (very flexible, but you have to set it up and code it all). The simple version: you can "pop up" an inputbox either when the book opens, or when the user clicks into a particular cell, or when they press a commandbutton. The difference is where you put the code (more on that later). Code would be simple: Dim UserInput as Variant UserInput = InputBox("Enter the value he") ' Now you need to store the value in your book or do your calculations... To run it on opening the book: Go into the VB editor and show the project explorer, double-click on "ThisWorkbook" to select it, and put the code in as: Private Sub Workbook_Open() .... End Sub To run it on entering a cell: Select the appropriate worksheet in project explorer and then: Private Sub Workbook_SelectionChange(Target as Range) If Not(Intersect(Target, YourCell) Is Nothing Then ' this checks if the new selection "overlaps" your cell .... End If End Sub For the commandbutton, just right-click on it, choose "Assign macro...", press the New button, and type the code in the resulting CommandButton_Click procedure. You can also (from VB editor) choose Insert.... UserForm and design your own customized pop-up, but the instructions would be longer than I can give here. Look up Userforms in Help and search this site if you are interested. HTH "Larry Sartoris" wrote: I'm trying to make a pop up and then have the user enter data into the pop up.
