I have a table where I'd like the macro to enter a formula BEFORE I enter the actual value.

I would like it to enter a formula that says, in the activecell, put the formula (offset(0,-1) minus (offset(-1, -1)
Then I would like it to show me that amount.
But then, I have an input box and I'd like whatever I enter into the input box to REPLACE the formula in the activecell.

VBA Code:
    With ActiveCell
        .Offset(0, 0).Value = .Offset(0, -1).Value - .Offset(-1, -1).Value
    End With
    
    Trip = InputBox("Please enter the Trip Distance.", "Trip Distance", Default, XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)
    ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value & Trip
    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
something like this:
VBA Code:
    With ActiveCell
        .Formula = "=" & .Offset(0, -1).Address & "-" & .Offset(-1, -1).Address
        
        Trip = InputBox("Please enter the Trip Distance.", "Trip Distance", .Value, XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)
        If IsNumeric(Trip) Then .Value = Trip
        .Offset(0, 1).Select
    End With

Solution
something like this:
VBA Code:
    With ActiveCell
        .Formula = "=" & .Offset(0, -1).Address & "-" & .Offset(-1, -1).Address
       
        Trip = InputBox("Please enter the Trip Distance.", "Trip Distance", .Value, XPos:=2880, YPos:=5760)
        If IsNumeric(Trip) Then .Value = Trip
        .Offset(0, 1).Select
    End With
Works exactly as I wanted.
Thank you !!!
