    Receive "$" and "," in an InputBox

    Hi Guys!

    I'm having trouble validating the following InputBox. The InputBox is asking for a revenue number which will be plugged into a cell. In anticipation of the user entering one of the following, how can I ensure that only the number gets entered into the cell.

    Ex. $1,000, $1000, 1,000, 1000.00.

    Currently, the only type that doesn't give me a mismatch is "1000".

    Not sure if there is a better option, but you could just do a double substitute and replace the $ and , with ""s.

    Remove the Val. Excel should interpret the results as currency and act accordingly

    It doesn't interpret $ or , correctly. I get a mismatch message.
