Let's try this again. I think the last post was just a subject.

I have the following code:

Private Sub CPIDateEntry()
Dim cpistart
Msgboxloc:
cpistart = InputBox("Enter START date for report PERIOD in MM-YYYY Format ")
Debug.Print cpistart
If cpistart < "" Then
If IsDate(cpistart) Then
' MsgBox "Continue the macro"
' Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy"
' ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
Sheets("CPI_SPI_PITD").Select
Range("B33").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(YEAR(CPIStart),MONTH(CPIStart),1)"
Selection.NumberFormat = "mmm-yy"
Exit Sub
Range("B33").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Calculate
End If
Else
MsgBox "You did not enter a date"
GoTo Msgboxloc
End If
End Sub

WHY am I not getting anything displayed in B33 of CPI_SPI_PITD? It's not
recognizing CPIStart as anything. The error message is currently #NAME?

I'm sure I'm doing something basic wrong.

Thanks

It "throws up" before EXIT SUB because it doesn't know what CPIStart is for
some reason.

Could it be the "Exit Sub" statement in the middle of the IF statement?

See code snippet:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=DATE(YEAR(CPIStart),MONTH(CPIStart),1)"
Selection.NumberFormat = "mmm-yy"
Exit Sub
Range("B33").Select

It runs fine using this modified version
================================================== ====
Private Sub CPIDateEntry()

Dim cpistart
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim iYr As Integer
Dim iMonth As Integer
Dim strVAL As String

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("CPI_SPI_PITD")

Msgboxloc:
cpistart = InputBox("Enter START date for report PERIOD in MM-YYYY Format ")
Debug.Print cpistart
If cpistart < "" Then
If IsDate(cpistart) Then
ws.Activate
Range("B33").Select
iMonth = Month(cpistart)
iYr = Year(cpistart)
strVAL = "=DATE(" & iYr & "," & iMonth & ",1)"

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = strVAL
Selection.NumberFormat = "mmm-yy"
Exit Sub
Range("B33").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Calculate
End If
Else
MsgBox "You did not enter a date"
GoTo Msgboxloc
End If
End Sub
