    Inputbox range

    Hi All

    im trying to use an type 8 input box to return a range of cells, but instead of retuning the range, i would like to return the text in those 4-5 cells selected.

    any take on this?

    I'm not sure that is possible. You could return the text in a message box. However, if you select a very large range, the message box will be quite large. Try this macro.

    Im not certain you can use an Input Box to return cell values.

    You can use a Textbox to return cell values.

    Do you mean cells consisting of:
    1. one row and multiple columns ?
    2. one column and multiple rows ?
    3. multiple rows and multiple columns (but in which order in this case) ?
