G'day,

I am not a VBA expert. I understand what I want excel and VBA to do for my projects, but I have very simple knowledge of how coding actually works. I get by by asking questions here, which you fine folk are so kind to assist with. I also rehash others VBA code that I stumble across and repurpose where possible.

My current need for help is around exiting a VBA when the cancel button is selected in an input box, or when the input box is left blank.
I have this problem for a couple of VBA's. I will present them all here. Feel free to help with any or all, or if there is a generic string I can add to each code that will work as required.
Thanks heaps for everyone's help on these boards. You help make people like me look good.

VBA Code:
Sub ConfirmExt_click()
Selection.Interior.Color = RGB(215, 245, 215)
       Dim sCmt As String
    Dim rCell As Range

    sCmt = InputBox( _
      Prompt:="Have you confirmed this extra shift or extension with the DAO?" & vbCrLf & _
      "Please add your name, date and time this was confirmed. ", _
      Title:="Comment to Add")
    If sCmt = "" Then
        MsgBox "No details added. Please start again and include your name, date and time."
    
    Else
        For Each rCell In Selection
            With rCell
                .ClearComments
                .AddComment
                .Comment.Text Text:=sCmt
            End With
        Next
    End If
    Set rCell = Nothing
End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub swap()
    Dim sCmt As String
    Dim rCell As Range, range1 As Range, range2 As Range
    sCmt = InputBox( _
      Prompt:="Is the swap legal?" & vbCrLf & _
      "Please add details of who actioned this swap and when.", _
      Title:="Comment to Add")
    If sCmt = "" Then
        MsgBox "No details added. Please start again and include your name, date and time."
    
    Else
        For Each rCell In Selection
            With rCell
                .ClearComments
                .AddComment
                .Comment.Text Text:=sCmt
            End With
        Next
    End If
    Set rCell = Nothing
    If Selection.Areas.Count <> 2 Then Exit Sub
    Set range1 = Selection.Areas(1)
    Set range2 = Selection.Areas(2)
    If range1.Rows.Count <> range2.Rows.Count Or _
        range1.Columns.Count <> range2.Columns.Count Then Exit Sub
    range2.Offset(1) = range1.Value
    range1.Offset(1) = range2.Value
    range1.Font.Strikethrough = True
    range2.Font.Strikethrough = True
End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub MarkShiftCovered_click()
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Selection.Font.Underline = False
Selection.Font.Bold = False
Selection.Font.Strikethrough = True
     Dim sCmt As String
    Dim rCell As Range
    
    sCmt = InputBox( _
      Prompt:="Have you covered this shift in it's entirety?" & vbCrLf & _
      "Please add details of how the shift has been covered. ie. OFF roster, extensions.", _
      Title:="Comment to Add")
    If sCmt = "" Then
        MsgBox "No details added. Please make sure the shift is fully covered."
            
            Else
        For Each rCell In Selection
            With rCell
                .ClearComments
                .AddComment
                .Comment.Text Text:=sCmt
            End With
        Next
    End If
    Set rCell = Nothing
 
End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub Copyandstrike()
Dim r As Integer, c As Integer
   Dim sCmt As String
    Dim rCell As Range
    
    sCmt = InputBox( _
      Prompt:="You are about to mark this shift as open." & vbCrLf & _
      "Please add details on why this shift is now open. ie. absenteeism, training, meetings etc", _
      Title:="Comment to Add")
    If sCmt = "" Then
        MsgBox "No details added. Please make sure the shift is fully covered."
            
            Else
        For Each rCell In Selection
            With rCell
                .ClearComments
                .AddComment
                .Comment.Text Text:=sCmt
            End With
        Next
    End If
    Set rCell = Nothing

If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub

c = Selection.Column '????*No check on validity of columnn!'

For r = 4 To 8
    If Cells(r, c) = vbNullString Then
        Cells(r, c).Value = Selection.Value
        Cells(r, c).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 124, 128) 'Edit RGB values if necessary
        Selection.Font.Strikethrough = True
        r = 0
        Exit For
     End If
Next

If Not r = 0 Then MsgBox "There are no blanks left!"

End Sub

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
To exit the sub when a user cancels the inputbox, use the StrPtr function...

VBA Code:
    '   
    '
    '
    
    sCmt = InputBox( _
      Prompt:="Have you confirmed this extra shift or extension with the DAO?" & vbCrLf & _
      "Please add your name, date and time this was confirmed. ", _
      Title:="Comment to Add")
      
    If StrPtr(sCmt) = 0 Then Exit Sub 'user cancelled inputbox
    
    'etc
    '
    '

Hope this helps!
