Dear Experts:

below code snippet lets user change the font size of a chart's data
labels by means of an Input Box.

I would like the inputbox part of the macro expanded in the following
way:

... only numeric values between 1 and 10 are allowed (ie. Font size of
the data labels)
... If above condition is not met the inputbox dialog is to re-appear.
In the current state the macro exits on non-numeric values.

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas

DefineFontSize = InputBox("Specifiy the new Font Size of the Data
Labels!")
If Not IsNumeric(DefineFontSize) Then
MsgBox ("Only numeric values are allowed!")
Exit Sub
End If
If DefineFontSize = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

How about this (with type declarations included - a good practice):

Sub Test()
Dim answer As String
Dim DefineFontSize As Double

answer = InputBox("Specifiy the new Font Size of the Data Labels!")
If Not IsNumeric(answer) Then
* * MsgBox ("Only numeric values are allowed!")
* * Exit Sub
End If
DefineFontSize = answer
Do While DefineFontSize < 1 Or DefineFontSize 10
* * MsgBox "Font size should be in range 1 to 10"
* * answer = InputBox("Specifiy the new Font Size of the Data
Labels!")
* * If Not IsNumeric(answer) Then
* * * * MsgBox ("Only numeric values are allowed!")
* * * * Exit Sub
* * End If
* * DefineFontSize = answer
Loop
MsgBox DefineFontSize
End Sub

Dear Scattered,

works like a charm. thank you very much for your professional help.
