 Project #2: Prompting the User for Information

In this part of the project, we'll focus on prompting the user for information using VBA in Excel. Prompting the user for information is a common requirement in Excel applications, whether it's to gather input for calculations, customize settings, or perform specific actions based on user preferences. We'll use the InputBox function to achieve this. Here's how to prompt the user for information using VBA:

Sub PromptUserForInfo() 
 ' Declare variables to store user input 
Dim userName As String 
Dim userAge As Integer 
' Prompt the user to enter their name 
userName = InputBox("Please enter your name:") 
' Prompt the user to enter their age 
userAge = InputBox("Please enter your age:") 
' Display the information entered by the user 
MsgBox "Hello, " & userName & "! You are " & userAge & " years old." 
End Sub

Explanation:

We start by declaring two variables, userName to store the user's name as a string and userAge to store the user's age as an integer.

We use the InputBox function twice to prompt the user for information. The first InputBox prompts the user to enter their name, and the second InputBox prompts the user to enter their age. The information entered by the user is stored in the respective variables.

Finally, we use a MsgBox function to display a message box with the information entered by the user. The message box greets the user by name and mentions their age.

By using the InputBox function, we can interactively gather information from the user in Excel VBA. This capability allows us to create dynamic and user-friendly Excel applications that cater to specific user needs and preferences. Feel free to modify and expand upon this code to suit your specific requirements and use cases.
