Can you assign a Cell value to a variable and can you make a permanant variable that changes via an inputbox??
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Yes, you can do both. To assign a cell value to a variable:

Dim CellVal As Variant
CellVal = [B4].Value

puts the value from cell B4 into the variable named CellVal.

To assign a variable from an InputBox:

Dim CellVal As Variant
CellVal = Application.InputBox("Enter User Name", Type:=3)

where the Type:=3 indicates that you are expecting the user to enter a text string (set other type values for other data types)

Could you please tell me how can you assign the CellVal to another cell from another makro?
Thanks
