Good day.

I am running the provided MACRO to auto populate Months in consecutive cells. It starts with Cell A2 (starting range) in which there is a date Oct 2023. This will be added to a larger MACRO and I want to learn how to add a message box telling the user to enter a date in the MMM YYYY format which will fill Cell A2 and then continue the execution of the MACRO. I want to be able to change the start date every time this part of the MACRO runs.

Sub ztest()
'
' ztest Macro
'
'Activate worksheet
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate

'Select source range
Set startingRange = ActiveSheet.Range("A2")

'Autofill destination range with xlFillMonths
startingRange.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:X2"), Type:=xlFillMonths


End Sub

Thanks to all for the lesson.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
I think you should research the input box function. Since there are many aspects to it, it's best that you research it to learn various ways it can be used.
