Macro buttons within a worksheet

How do you create a button and assign it to run an existing macro?

RE: Macro buttons within a worksheet

Hi Helen

Thank you for your question.

To create a button on your spreadsheet, bring up the Forms toolbar on your screen. Locate the Button icon and click it once. Then bring your cursor onto your spreadsheet, hold down your left mouse and drag diagonally to draw the button onto your spreadsheet.

The Assign Macro dialogue box should appear on your screen. Select the macro you wish to link to the button and click OK.

Finally the button will display the default text 'Button 1'. Highlight the text 'Button 1' using your mouse and type over it to replace the default text with the text you want displayed on the button.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
