How to use InputBox to populate function
Requirement:
Someone could help me to use inputbox variables to populate the data to be used in this function.
Function Cover (Stock As Double, Sales As Range) As Double
s = Stock
c = 0
For Each sale In Sales.Cells
If s = 0 Then Exit For
If s >= Val(sale.Value) Then
c = c + 1
s = s - Val(sale.Value)
Else
c = c + s / Val(sale.Value)
s = 0
Exit For
End If
Next
If s > 0 Then c = 9999
Cover = c
End Function
Solution:
Code:
Sub Test_Cover()
Dim d As Double, s As Range
d = Application.InputBox("Stock", Type:=1)
Set s = Application.InputBox("Select Sales Range", Type:=8)
MsgBox Cover(d, s)
End Sub
Function Cover(Stock As Double, Sales As Range) As Double
Dim c As Double, s As Double, sale As Range
s = Stock
c = 0
For Each sale In Sales
If s = 0 Then Exit For
If s >= Val(sale.Value) Then
c = c + 1
s = s - Val(sale.Value)
Else
c = c + s / Val(sale.Value)
s = 0
Exit For
End If
Next
If s > 0 Then c = 9999
Cover = c
End Function
