Text from text box to cell
 

Does anybody know a formula (not VBA) to get text from a text box to a
cell?

I can get text from a cell to the cell box, but is it possible the
other way around?

Pretty sure you will need VBA.

What sort of textbox is it?

You can set the Linked Cell in the textbox properties. That way, textbox and
cell will always be the same, whichever one you change.

Hi, and thanks for the fast reply....

I'm not sure how you do "the linked cell" I've tried the help with no
help...

I'll try to elaborate a little mo

I'm building a worksheet with a standard sheet with a textbox. I would
like the text of the text box to link to a cell, and then copy my
standard sheet to make new worksheets...

Did that make sense?

If it is a control toolbox textbox, activate design mode, double-click on
the textbox which takes you to the VBE IDE. Open the properties window, F4,
and set the linkedcell there.

I ended up piecing a lot of different VBA code together, and after a
while it worked....

Big thanks for all the help in this forum....
