Using InputBox Function in Excel VBA

The InputBox function helps the users to get the values dynamically from the user on run time. Once user enters the value and click OK button then it will perform some task based on the VBA code.

We will see this with one example to understand clearly.

Syntax:

InputBox(prompt, [title], [default], [xpos], [ypos], [HelpFile], [Context]) as string

Follow the below steps to create a button and display the name in excel using input box method.

Step 1:

Create a button in excel to display the name in cell "C4" as shown in the below picture.

Step 2:

Right click on the button and click view code to get into VBA Editor mode. Copy the below code and paste it in that VBA editor.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim My_Input_Value As Variant
My_Input_Value = InputBox("Enter Your Name", "InputBox Method")
Range("C4").Value = My_Input_Value

End Sub

Step 3:

Now come to the excel sheet where you have button. Click the button it will prompt a box to do something as shown in the below picture.

Step 4:

Enter your name in that box and click OK to complete the process. The typed name will be displayed in your excel sheet now as shown in the below picture.
