I'm using an inputbox to let the user select a range of cells. Here's the line
Set MyRange = Application.InputBox("Select cells with numeric data", Type:=8)
When the inputbox comes up, it won't let the user click any cells (or anywhere in the worksheet, for that matter). The cell/range reference has to be typed in manually.
Using InputBox Method to Select Range from Other Sheets
I need to select a range of cells from a second workbook via a InputBox or similar.
I'm trying to do that with the following
Sub InputBoxTest()
Dim MySelection As Range
Set MySelection = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select a range of cells", Type:=8)
MySelection.Select
End Sub
But I can't select a cell range if it is located in other workbook.

I have a worksheet with a title in cell A1, followed by some range of numbers in the same column. I was wondering if anyone can suggest an easy method for selecting various numbers? What I originally thought would be easy was to put check boxes in the adjacent column of the numbers, allowing the user to select specific cells at will. This has turned out to be a nightmare and far too difficult for me.
I attached a sheet with the code I was originally working on, but I totally messed it up and it wipes out my data, but anyone cares to look it over, it's attached. So I humbly ask, how does everyone else do it? What is the norm for allowing a user to select multiple numbers at a time simply using a click from the mouse? How does one wright the code so that the selected values can be manipulated in further code?
I am having trouble assigning the range given by an inputbox method to the variable targetcells, and subsequently selecting targetcells. any help would be most appreciated.
Dim i As Integer
Dim CopyCells As Range 'the cells into which links will be copied
Dim TargetCells As Range 'the cells that copycells will be linked to
Dim CopyAddress As Variant 'the address of the copycells
Dim TargetAddress As Variant 'the address of the targetaddress
i = 0
For i = 1 To 100
Set CopyCells = Application.InputBox("Click on the cells to copy", "Automating copying links", Type:=8)
Set TargetCells = Application.InputBox("Select the target cells", "Automating copying links", Type:=8)
TargetCells.Select 'this line doesn't work for some reason (why?)
TargetAddress = ActiveWorkbook.Name 'this and the above lines are the ones I am having most trouble with - assigning the name of the targetcells workbook

Sub Copy_NationalAccounts_Rows()
Const Message As String = "Select the entire range containing National Account Y flags, then press Enter or click OK."

I am trying to select a range using this method. I am indicating type:=8, but isn't the box itself supposed allow you to select a range on a sheet? I cannot do this.
My only thought is that I have disabled events and updating; could that be it?
Here is my delimma. I am using the standard InputBox for my users to input the number of errors found for each category in a record from a daily report. The problem I having is that every time the user types in data using the InputBox it overwrites the previous days numbers. I need to set up the InputBox code so that after the user has input the numbers for that day that the next time the InputBox is used it selects the next column to the right and continues to do this for each day.

I'm just trying to select a range of cells in Sheet2 of my workbook.
I've tried many different bits of code, including:
Dim namesTotal As Integer
namesTotal = 2500
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(namesTotal, 8)).Select
(According to the Microsoft website, this is supposed to be the way to do it?)
I have this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=1, columnOffset:=0).Activate
ActiveCell.PasteSpecial
End Sub
it errors to: SELECT METHOD OR RANGE CLASS FAILED
Ok I've spent over 2 hours reading MANY peoples issues with this "BUG". Back in 2003 was the earliest... no one has an answer that works.
When you protect a worksheet and only have UNLOCKED CELLS selected...somehow through loading and unloading the file... you can select locked cells....
I can not find a pattern but many people have had this issue all with no concrete answers.
Just by loading and saving, exit and loading and saving, exit and loading.... i can now select locked cells that I previously couldn't. (I can't do anything as it's still protected...) It's a pain because it wrecks my tab flow.

I have created a spreadsheet that is 38mb and needed to size it down. I recorded the following macro to do this.

Macro has been working fine for ages suddenly have received this consistently?
It's not debugging to allow me to see the route of the problem.
i've googled and seen it's normally a use of select but can't see any issue in my code or understand why it would work for months and now stop.
note: also after i click Ok on the error the macro seems to continue running and data is pulled through. ...but this message comes up every time so it's questioning the reliability of the data it's pulling.

I am writing a module which have a different test based on for each of the previous 2 column cells. It calculate the days passed or in simple way calculate the date difference for the 2 columns and puts them in third. But i need to use a inputbox for entering the first date for monday of the month each time i use the worksheet.
When i try using the module for each cell of the column it display the input box for each cell. is there any way so that i just enter the value in input box and it can be used in rest of the module.Without using it again and again.
