Prompt user to enter a column letter using VBA

Dear Experts:

Below Code converts Path Entries in Column 'B' to Hyperlinks. The macro works just great.

Could somebody help me to tweak this code in the following way:

The path entries could be in any column and I do not want to hard code the macro every time the column letter changes (the macro is activated also by other people)

An Input Box is to prompt the user to enter the column letter and then the macro runs.

Only single column letters are allowed, i.e. A till Z. Any other caracter that is entered (numbers, alphanumeric entries, space(s) etc) will trigger an error.

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas


Sub Convert_Path_To_Hyperlinks()

Dim r As Range
Dim MyValue As String

On Error Resume Next

   For Each r In Range("B2", Range("B2").End(xlDown))
     
   If r.Value <> "" Then

         MyValue = r.Value

            Range(r.Address).Select

               ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Excel.Selection, Address:=MyValue, TextToDisplay:=MyValue

     End If

   Next r

    Range("a1").Select

End Sub
