    If you have any confidential and/or personal data in your data file, break the link to this file as soon as possible and insert it again with fictitious/false/dummy data, but corresponding to their true arrangement in the spreadsheet - there is no need to include a file as large as 1 MB, a few dozen lines of data will be enough ... ... so please use the forum's attachment option (yellow banner above).

    When you fetch the value you are looking for into a variable, try using the Application.InputBox method instead of the VBA.InputBox function.

    The newest version of Excel has a function 'TRANSLATE' maybe that can be of help.
