I want to make a for-loop repeat itself a given number of times, specified by inputting a value to a cell. Here is the code I'm currently using:

Dim i as Integer
Dim j as Integer
j = Range("Q1").Value
For i = 1 to j
(code)
Next i

This doesn't work, but hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello and welcome to MrExcel.

In what way doesn't it work? This works for me:

Code:
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
j = Range("Q1").Value
For i = 1 To j
    MsgBox i
Next i
End Sub
