Hi dears,
I need your help to force users to enter one of these words only (Year End) or (Qrt) using inputbox method.

Note that user must not leave the inputbox until he/she enter one of these words.

Thanks in advance

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
How about

Code:
Dim uiValue As String
Dim strDefault As String

strDefault = "Year End"
Do
    uiValue = Application.InputBox("Enter either Year End or Quarter", Default:=strDefault, Type:=2)
    If uiValue = "False" Then Exit Sub: Rem cancel pressed

    If LCase(uiValue) = LCase(strDefault) Then Exit Do

    strDefault = IIf(strDefault = "Quarter", "Year End", "Quarter")
Loop Until LCase(uiValue) = LCase(strDefault)

MsgBox "User entered " & uiValue
