Returns

Remarks

Use InputBox to display a simple dialog box so that you can enter information to be used in a macro. The dialog box has an OK button and a Cancel button. If you choose the OK button, InputBox returns the value entered in the dialog box. If you click the Cancel button, InputBox returns False.

If Type is 0, InputBox returns the formula in the form of text — for example, "=2*PI()/360". If there are any references in the formula, they are returned as A1-style references. (Use ConvertFormula(Object, XlReferenceStyle, Object, Object, Object) to convert between reference styles.)

If Type is 8, InputBox returns a Range object.

If you use the InputBox method to ask the user for a formula, you must use the FormulaLocal property to assign the formula to a Range object. The input formula will be in the user's language.

The InputBox method differs from the InputBox function in that it allows selective validation of the user's input, and it can be used with Microsoft Excel objects, error values, and formulas. InputBox with no object qualifier calls the InputBox function.
