VBA User Selected Range Error on Cancel

[jscranton]

I have been using this bit of code to get a user selected column (uses worksheet and string inputs). HOwever, if the user selects cancel, it errors out. Interestingly, it was working until I declared all my variable types. Any idea how to work around the error?

Thanks,

Justin

Private Function getCol(sh As Worksheet, s As String) As Integer
Dim x
Dim y
Dim checkS As String
Dim a() As Variant
Dim rng As rng


sh.Activate
Set rng = Application.InputBox("Select the COLUMN containing the " & s, s, , , , , , 8)


getCol = rng.Column


End Function

I presume that in your declarations you meant ..

Dim rng As Range

.. though that will not solve the Cancel problem.
(You have also declared some variables that are not used in the function)

You could try this. The function will then return 0 if Cancel is clicked

sh.Activate
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Application.InputBox("Select the COLUMN containing the " & s, s, , , , , , 8)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
  getCol = rng.Column
End If
