Mulitple Entries in InputBox
 

I have a routine which inserts a new row for data input and then pops up an
inout box. Presently the input box is being used to populate one specific
cell in the new row. I have to add several new columns on the spreadsheet
and will have to use Inputbox to populate those cells as well. Is there a
way to have one Inputbox ask for three or four answers for the related cells?
I have included the current code below.

Title = Counterparty
msg1 = "Enter the counterparty type: "" c "" = customer, "" dm "" = dealer
macro hedge (portfolio hedge), "" dh "" = dealer hedge (for the above trade),
"" i "" = internal Your entry will be placed in a column to the right
labeled, ""Counterparty"""
Custdlrint = InputBox(msg1, Title, Default, 15, 15)
If Custdlrint = Cancel Then
Exit Sub
Else
End If


Thanks,

Jim

Instead of a macro, would...
DataForm
work for you?

I thought of that after posting but have not tried it. I will check it out
though.

Thanks,

Something like this will I think do what you want:

Sub test()

Dim strInput As String
Dim arr1
Dim arr2
Dim i As Byte

arr2 = Array("value 1", "value 2", "value 3", "value 4")

strInput = InputBox("Pick up to 4 of the following numbers, separated by
comma's:" & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"1. value 1" & vbCrLf & _
"2. value 2" & vbCrLf & _
"3. value 3" & vbCrLf & _
"4. value 4" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"The corresponding values will be placed in cells
starting at column A", _
"entering values")

If Len(strInput) = 0 Or StrPtr(strInput) = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If

Range(Cells(1), Cells(4)).ClearContents

If InStr(1, strInput, ",", vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then
Cells(1) = arr2(Val(Trim(strInput)) - 1)
Exit Sub
End If

arr1 = Split(strInput, ",")

For i = 0 To UBound(arr1)
Cells(i + 1) = arr2(Val(Trim(arr1(i))) - 1)
Next

End Sub


It will need a bit further working out to work with the different rows, but
that shouldn't be too difficult.
