Enduser Input field for What-If Scenario

I've been looking for a sample script where the end-user can key in a number value in order to simulate different outcomes.  Or where an end-user can enter dates which can be used for a From/To selection, adhoc.  Does anyone have a simple example that I can study?  Thank you.

Why would you set a new variable off of another variable? The input box is already setting a variable for you so you would just need to use that.

Use the input box. This will set a variable which you can use in your expressions.

Hello Marc.  I created the input box and I see how it accepts a value from me.  But how do I access that field value in my script?  I tried this line of code but doesn't work:  

                         Set vInputField = myinputfield;

Thanks.  I see now how it works.  I did a Variables Overview and saw my inpu field (myinputfield) in there as a variable.  All I have to do is reference it in my script and off we go, right.  I just didn't understand how it worked.  Thank you, Marc!!
