Hi all,

I've got a fully functioning macro that cycles through a range of cells and inserts user input sales data into each cell, one-by-one.

The problem is that you cannot cancel or exit.

Code:
Sub FirstSalesInput()

'This sub will create six messages boxes for user input
'The user input will be the first six weeks' sales of a new product
'The data will automatically be input into "Data"




Dim wbCurrent As Workbook
Dim inWeeknum As Integer
Dim rngWeeks As Range
Dim sales As Variant


Set wbCurrent = ActiveWorkbook


intWeeknum = 1


    For Each rngWeeks In Worksheets("Data").Range("D10:D15")
        Do
            sales = InputBox("Please enter unit sales for week " & intWeeknum)
                Debug.Print sales
        'User input must be a number and within predefined assumptions of min and max sales
                    If IsNumeric(sales) And sales <> "" And sales > 1000 And sales < 5000 Then
                    
                        rngWeeks.Value = sales
                        intWeeknum = intWeeknum + 1
        Exit Do
                    Else
                        MsgBox "Please enter a valid sales figure"
[COLOR=#b22222][I]'The problem is [B]here[/B] - if the user needs to exit for whatever reason, they can't, and have to cycle through the
whole process and re-do it all again if there was an error.[/I][/COLOR]
                    End If
        Loop
    Next rngWeeks


'Select innocuous cell
    Sheets("Data").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    
'Return to original sheet
    Sheets("Home").Activate


End Sub

I'm really struggling with this and a tight deadline - the model can work as is, but the user won't be happy with me if they make a mistake! :cool:

Any help would be much obliged!

Thanks again all!

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Perhaps something like this:-
Code:
     Else
                        If MsgBox("Do you want to Exit Sub", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Accept/Reject") = vbYes Then
                              Exit Sub
                        Else
                              MsgBox "Please enter a valid sales figure"
                       End If
                        
                        
'The problem is here - if the user needs to exit for whatever reason, they can't, and have to cycle through the
'whole process and re-do it all again if there was an error.
                    End If

Thank you both!

The first one is so simple and eloquent, but as I took advantage of the second one as I can't trust the user to not enter anything - it has to be idiot proof!

Thanks a lot - I love this site!

Hopefully one day I will be able to give back - I'm just no Excel expert yet, still hovering the amateur/intermediate field right now!

Take care!
