Hey,
i need some guidance.Im working on a project in vba(in excel).I am trying to create a shift cipher(example dog would be fqi)
i want the input to be in an input box(have that part) with the text to be shifted and amount that it will be shifted.The output will be in excel in a 20 column by n row array.I made a function to remove all non alphabetic lower case characters.This is what i have so far(theres a lot of things I just need help finishing and putting it all together).
[TEX]'Ask for dimensions of array and output numbers in array
Sub NumberArray()
'this puts up input boxes and then stores the inputs to variables
NumRows = InputBox("Input the number of rows.")
NumColumns = InputBox("Input the number of columns.")
For i = 1 To NumRows ' completes 1 row at a time
For j = 1 To NumColumns 'goes through each column 1 at time
Cells(i, j).Value = j + (i - 1) * NumColumns
Next j
Next i
End Sub
'change all letters to lowercase
'remove all non alphabetic characters
Function Remove(x)
tempText = LCase(x) 'change all letters to lowercase
For i = 1 To Len(x) 'len is number of characters in the script
If Asc(Mid(tempText, i, 1)) >= 97 And Asc(Mid(tempText, i, 1)) <= 122 Then '97 is ascii a and 122 is ascii z
tempOutput = tempOutput & (Mid(tempText, i, 1))
End If
Next i
Remove = tempOutput 'outputs the text
End Function
Function ShiftCipher(text, shiftamount)
shiftamount = InputBox("Input how many numbers to shift by")
Select Case letter
Case "a"
letter = Chr(97 + shiftamount)
