In this video I explain the 3 ways to create macro buttons in Excel worksheets. These are buttons that run macros when the button is pressed. Download the Excel file:
There are 3 ways to add macro buttons to a worksheet in Excel:
1. Shapes
2. Form Control buttons
3. ActiveX buttons
In the video I explain my favorite method, and the pros & cons of each.
I also explain how to prevent the buttons from moving and resizing when changes are made to the sheet. This can happen when you add/remove rows & columns, or adjust row height or column width.
Adding macro buttons to your spreadsheets can make it much easier for other users that are not familiar with Excel. Instead of having them complete a bunch of steps in a complex process, they can just click a button to run a macro. The macro runs your VBA code that automates the task(s).

@filco8494 Месяц назад

I found a little workaround to "simulate" the pressed animation for the form. In your recording first record to delete the shadow effect, then comes your main macro, and after that insert the shadow again, then stop recording. It will be just a fraction of a millisecond but thats even enough to get that satisfiyng "pressed" feeling

Always enjoy and learn a lot from your videos and replies. How does one use the same button or shape to invoke a macro on the first click them another macro on the second click. For example, I want use the same button to hide and unhide a column. 1st click hide, 2nd click unhide (undo), 3rd click hide, etc.? Thank you.

@Msedk 4 года назад

Thanks for the learning experience. I'm not much of a fan of all the buttons though. I like the neatness of the cells themselves. Is there a way to use the cell as a button instead of a shape or form button?

@wayneedmondson1065 5 лет назад

Hey Jon.. thanks for the video on adding macro buttons. Question: Is there any way to get a shape to exhibit the "press" visualization that you see when clicking on a Form Control button? It looks like the Form Control press moves the dark border outline from the bottom and right edges to the top and left edges which gives the appearance of a "press" or "indentation.". Have you ever tried to accomplish the same via code to get that kind of animation effect on your shape buttons? Just curious.. might be a fun project. On shapes, I often use the rectangle with gradient fill and a round bevel shape effect to give the appearance of depth. But, it does not "depress" on a click. It would be great if Microsoft would add a "Like Control Button" shape effect for those of us who want to see a button-like action on the click of a shape being used as a button to fire a macro. Thanks again for all your valuable tips and resources Jon. Thumbs up!

@moali1836 2 года назад

Can you change the colour after the button has been pressed?

@briancross6884 5 лет назад

I have created macro buttons for some time & they work well. The only problem I have now is that I do not know how to protect them from being modified. When I protect the worksheet, Excel automatically selects Edit objects & Edit scenarios in the Protect Sheet option. I do check Select unlocked cells only. That works in that you can click on the button & do what I want. For example, if the macro switches to a different worksheet - that works fine. However when I come back to the same sheet, even though I have protected that sheet, it is now unprotected! Jon - I don't understand this & am unable to figure this out! Thank you for all of your help!!!

I have a question. I’m working on one project and I don’t find the right formula for check boxes. Example: let’s take numbers from 1 to 20 and alocate 2 colours ( orange for odd and green for even ) and we have 4 results where need to stock data ( 1 to 10 = low / 11 to 20 high ) and we have box1 = low even green / box2 = low odd orange / box3 = high even green / box4 = high odd orange. When tick a box on number 1 for example, need in box1 = 1 but tick need to be gone after marking it and then let’s say we select 7, in box1 = 2 … sum and count formulas are not working unless I miss something. Is there any coding that needs to be ajusted ?
