Is there a way to create a pop up box using VBA that will prompt data to be entered into a specific cell?

Hello,

I have a macro that formats new hire data sent by HR into something I can use for my purposes, but the HR data is missing the date of hire. I'd like the macro to pop up a box that prompts manual entry of this date and then fills cell A1 with that date. Is this even possible?

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You have the Macro and we don't, so where it goes nobody knows. That said, this one line would accomplish what you are asking...

VBA Code:
Range("A1") = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Please Enter Date of Hire", Type:=2)
