Hi all,

I am writing a macro that inserts new columns according to user input.

However I come up with an error message when using the user input in the code:

(Code)

colLetter = InputBox("Please enter replication factor column:", "Factor column")
MsgBox colLetter
Columns("colLetter:colLetter").Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

(/Code)

I would like to ask how to properly write the input? (in this case "colLetter")

Thanks,
Nicolas

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try
Code:
Columns(colLetter).Insert shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
