Excel VBA - Basics videos | Excel VBA Part 11 - Input Boxes
Posted by Andrew Gould on 27 January 2014
In VBA an Input Box is a convenient way to ask users for information. This video shows you how to display and customise a basic inputbox, and how to capture the result using cells or variables. You'll also see what happens if a user cancels from the inputbox and how to test if that happens. The final part of the video goes into more technical detail on returning inputbox results to variables with different data types.
You can increase the size of the video:
You can view the video in full screen mode as shown on the left, using the icon at the bottom right of the frame.
You can also increase the quality of the video:
You can improve the resolution of the video using another icon at the bottom right of the frame. This will slow down the connection speed, but increase the display and sound quality. This icon only becomes visible when you start playing the video.
Finally, if nothing happens when you play the video, check that you're not using IE in compatibility view.
